I think s/has been//g will help already. And getting accoustomed to the code
you are modifying is not that bad ;)

I disagree here. I'd rather break the 80 columns limit than having multiline
comments not really standing out.

Also, I feel a bit uneasy as changing the comments spoils the history for
git-blame in case you want to know when/if the state-machine was changed. Then
again, I like properly formatted code.

Summa summarum, just send V2, it's not really worth fighting over it :)
