Hmm ... right offhand, the only objection I can see is that the
pg_bsd_indent files use the BSD 4-clause license, which is not ours.
However, didn't UCB grant a blanket exception years ago that said
that people could treat that as the 3-clause license? If we could
get past the license question, I agree that doing what you suggest
would be superior to the current situation.
