I think the requirement is there and that would be much better for
everyone: keeping both is redundant and does not bring any value, does
it? Instead it kinda removes the benefits of having the SPDX id in the
first place IMHO.

Furthermore, as there have been already ~12K+ files cleaned up and
still over 60K files to go, it would really nice if new files could
adopt the new style: this way we will not have to revisit and repatch
them in the future.
