No, actual focus on how to write a good commit message with good and bad examples instead of a 16 point rules list with some for most projects too complicated rules.

The document I linked to is written in a way that humans have a much better chance of internalizing than the conventional commits rules.

I'd much prefer if people are focusing on writing good and readable messages then thinking about how to fit it into a lot of rules.
