Right, that's a matter of different people with different taste mucking
around with the same file I suppose.

Most of this probably predates my involvement as a maintainer but even
if not (and I really can't be bothered digging into the history), it
might very well be something I didn't pay attention to while reviewing.

Seriously, it's so low on the scale of what matters ... I'm sure we both
have more valuable stuff to spend our time and energy on :-)
