Perhaps if we could have a little testing phase first (advertise this a bit)
before merging? Dunno...

Death to all text editors that do not support a decent whitespace
preservation setting (and/or defaults for that). I'd prefer that such
changes were minimised, since files with whitespace stripped are generally
clumsier to edit + quite ugly...

Perhaps it'd be better if you should do cleanup before merging. That way,
there may be lesser disruptions caused by removed stuff causing big
disruptions...
