The net code could be run through "indent", as far as I'm concerned. Not only are there the old indents from the really original code, but the current maintainsers do seem to agree on the rough indentation (although Alan has a heretic view on brace placement ;), so just running it through "indent -kr -i8" would certainly be an option.
Any other pieces I'd agree to run through indent as long as the main maintainer asks me to do so (I'd prefer to not get patches: just a mail from the maintainer of some code asking me to run so-and-so files through indent is sufficient).
(Alan, I won't run the net code through indent until you give the word, and probably after having gotten the IPv6 patches. So in a few weeks ok with you?)
