You're still not answering my question: what would *we* gain by letting 
this kind of inconsistency subsist in the code *we* have to maintain ?

Basically, I just don't care about what the rest of the world think of 
'$!' vs '$ERRNO', and other similar cosmetic issue. I just do care about 
the preferences of people currently involved in Sympa. And my own 
preference goes toward enforcing overall consistency, for better 
readability first, for easier refactoring second.
