IMHO one person should decide on the standard. Maybe this person can consult the other core devs about the decision privately. Allowing 'discussion' openly on this will just cause religious-like debate and waste time.
Any (commercial) software developers here that have joined an established company will most likely all have a similar story. They are handed the coding standard and expected to write code which conforms to it. End of story.
