What I mean is that spice-server is not following this style, as far as I can tell spice-gtk is not either, so adding this now to the coding styles is just odd. It should reflect at least a little bit what is currently being done ;) If we want to change and decide that's important enough, then I would go with a separate patch series which would change at least part of the codebase to follow that style, and then add this to the coding style doc. Though I don't think it's really useful to spend a lot of time on it... Alternatively, this section of the coding style should acknowledge that this is not followed at all by the current code base, but that new code should do that, and explain that when making changes to a file, patches reordering the headers in that file are welcome (if that's how we want to deal with the change).
