Have we made a decision about whether this patch series -- which avoids indenting blank notes lines -- is desirable? Or are we worried about backward-compatibility? If we think there is value in this series, then I can re-roll with Ævar suggestions. If not, perhaps I can re-submit just patch [1/3] which makes a few tests less brittle. Or, since those brittle tests aren't necessarily hurting anything, we can just let this series die. Thoughts?
