Woops, sorry, like I said this is a config file from the Cloud9 IDE package. I guess strictly speaking it should be a j2 template but it would look exactly the same. I will change it to a template anyway for correctness.

I agree about the review points, but typically we don't enforce our coding standards on files that are part of other projects unless there's a really good reason to do so, because otherwise we have to maintain a fork, or make pull requests for them to completely change over to our standards. Same goes for the bash files that we take from Ubuntu and deploy.
