For the people thinking about this, it would be nice if the final policy minimizes (and does not increase) the likelihood of having to modify several lines of surrounding code after touching one line of code. I don't think this consideration has been raised.
Do you mean "in the steady state of modifying the code base" or "while files aren't compliant with whatever change might get made"? I think you mean the former, but if so, I'm not sure what policy would serve you best. Ideally you'd want "always use braces", but failing that, each proposal has a different set of cases where you do/don't have to change as you touch things. PK
