-###Style
-
-[reactjs](https://github.com/reactjs) is trying to keep a standard style across its various projects, which can be found over in [eslint-config-reactjs](https://github.com/reactjs/eslint-config-reactjs). If you have a style change proposal, it should first be proposed there. If accepted, we will be happy to accept a PR to implement it here.
