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.
