> This is a modification of the Style Guide, so rough consensus among the
> HotSpot Group members is required to make this change. Only Group members
> should vote for approval (via the github PR), though reasoned objections or
> comments from anyone will be considered. A decision on this proposal will not
> be made before Monday 8-September-2025 at 12h00 UTC.
> 
> Since we're piggybacking on github PRs here, please use the PR review process
> to approve (click on Review Changes > Approve), rather than sending a "vote:
> yes" email reply that would be normal for a CFV.
