One question I couldn't find an easy answer for using Google: how often
and how much does the default format style change?

The reason I am asking is that if that happens, not only will we have
users with different versions having the problem of back-and-forth
only-format changes, we also will have to create a lot of 'update to
format x' commits to avoid mixing them with real changes.

The same would happen if we decide that the default isn't doing exactly
what we want, and change it. (and I've seen a few examples I didn't like
- just not yet some I would care enough about).

Did anyone compare the available styles for C++, and how often _they_
change?
