I agree we do not want restrictive guidelines. I'm also glad to see that 
OpenMoko is willing to modify their commit messages to match the 
OpenEmbedded format.

Hopefully, all projects that plan to feed changes into the core 
OpenEmbedded repository will use the same commit message format. The 
weekly change log shows why it is useful to standardize the commit 
message. Both formats in use are readable, but switching from one to the 
other when skimming is difficult.
