You're not wrong - but that's not the point. Personally I'd really prefer we
had four spaces everywhere; I'm not entirely sure why we chose this convention
in the first place. However, it's the convention we have now and changing it
has serious implications - almost every recipe will have to be changed;
backporting changes to stable releases will be made more difficult; submitted
patches crossing the switch will be difficult to apply, history will be
polluted, etc.
Changing this is not a small undertaking.
Cheers,
Paul
