It is not, and since you seem to be keen on making an issue out of
this, I took a quick look.

What is actually common is using Cc: stable *without* constraints:
~84% of the cases in 2025.

And that is *before* removing the cases where the constraint is actually needed.

I didn't suggest running `rustfmt`. I asked to please double-check if
that is the formatting that `rustfmt` *would* use, i.e. how those
blocks are normally formatted elsewhere, precisely because the tool
does not format it here.

Now, it isn't nice to try to frame things as if the issue is with the
other person (with remarks such as "first guy in the entire project"
and "when working with you").

So I will help you no further.

Cheers,
