Yes. I now have a format named after me. |

That should be fine. To me it's all about increased legibility through |
| 13 |
the use of _whitespace_, not the actual delimiter. Put there whatever |
| 14 |
you want. |

What I haven't seen at all in the past six years is people doing what |
| 21 |
b-w prefers. Which is why I'm currently "on leave" with regard to the |
| 22 |
daily 5 hour job of bug wrangling. I simply burned out some two weeks |
| 23 |
ago and I'm gradually picking up much more interesting tasks rather |
| 24 |
than going back to the grind. |

One of the major problems is that there is no format we agree on, which |
| 27 |
gives plenty of bad examples in the tracker that are validated over and |
| 28 |
over for users (broadly speaking, bugzilla users) picking their own |
| 29 |
format based on whatever they can come up with. Every attempt to push a |
| 30 |
standard has beached on bikeshedding about the format so far. |
