It's entirely subjective, of course, so no right-or-wrong answer, but
I personally do not find that this change improves code quality or
readability.

With my reviewer hat on, I spent an inordinate amount of time staring
at this change trying to locate each variable's new location to verify
that no initializers were dropped and that the declared type hadn't
changed. Taking into consideration that reviewers are a limited
resource on this project, I'd probably have skipped this patch
altogether if I were doing this series unless these changes concretely
help a subsequent patch.
