That's why its helpful to have an czar or authority to consider opinions and state a preference. To converge the community and stop wasting time on these debates. Also, nobody has to follow the guidance of 'style czar'. Each team and community could deviate in whatever ways. "We follow the standards expect for these changes about semi-colons." I think just having a standard can helpful when having your own style as well, because you can contrast it against something concrete.
