These are not the conventions I use for my subsystems and ask others to
follow, so imposing TIP rules to all maintainers needs broad consensus,
not (yet) checkpatch.

What's more, I think above TIP rules are contradicting with existing,
widely used and approved toolset - b4. So no, if you want universal
tool, please use b4 or whatever b4 defines.
