Sorry, but it is way too late to complain, generally after a change
hits a release, and especially after it got buried under 8 new major
releases. Unless a change was an unintended side-effect that we did
not mean to make, in which case we would likely to fix it as a bug.
And the change in question b2f5171e (status: remove the empty line
after hints, 2019-06-04) quite deliberately targets at removing
these extra lines [*], so no, I do not think it is reasonable to
expect reverting that commit that is more than a year old.
You may want to join the list discussion and stop whatever UI change
you find undesirable before it materializes next time.

status: remove the empty line after hints
Before this patch, there is inconsistency between the status
messages with hints and the ones without hints: there is an
empty line between the title and the file list if hints are
presented, but there isn't one if there are no hints.
This patch remove the inconsistency by removing the empty
lines even if hints are presented.
