I shared a variation of this with our development managers (consciously changing "rules" to "tips & suggestions" so as not to ignite a tabs v. spaces holy war) and got very strong responses about how "as long as you get a ummary with some context and cosistency, and the issue # linked this is overkill". Okay, well how do we enure that we get this without some guidance? It's very frustrating.
