Well, I'm not necessarily against it but I generally dislike wholesale
cleanups which create big patch application boundaries. If there are enough
practical benefits, sure, we should do it, but when it's things like this -
maybe possibly it's a bit better in the long term - the calculus isn't clear
cut. People can argue these things to high heavens on abstract grounds, but
if you break it down to practical gains vs. costs, it's not a huge
difference.

But, again, I'm not against it. Johannes, any second thoughts?

Thanks.
