There doesn't seem to be a semantic difference. Are you proposing we simply
replace our wording to point to SF22 or am I missing something?

https://wiki.qt.io/Things_To_Look_Out_For_In_Reviews references several guidelines (Canons), including Qt coding conventions and also Cpp Core Guidelines. My idea was to avoid redundancy, and unless Qt coding conventions specifies otherwise, we lean on the other guidelines. So my proposal is to delete the item on anonymous namespaces from the Qt coding conventions.
