Almost every open source project i've contributed to has quiet strict code style guidelines (some even mandate crazy things like 3 spaces for indentation), how is enforcing guidelines for our spec files any different?
There is no difference. Accordingly almost every open source project is actually lead by narrow-minded people which is - at least from my point of view - against the basic ideas behind freedom as in 'free software'.
