My idea here is to maximize the number of developers
And if in cases where one doesnt really care much either way and
someone else seems caring more one says, "ok" that may result in a happy
new contributor.
Saying "no" is more likely to turn someone away.
and again, it doesnt really matter if the , is there after a
final sentinel /count entry as no next field would ever be added

And ATM the "," thing is not consistent either way
git grep '_NB$' |wc
     53     114    2123
git grep '_NB,$' |wc
     30      76    1499

Making this more consistent shouldnt be a bad thing if the people who
want it also do the work ... (and it doesnt end as some rule that
causes future work to people not caring ...)
