Changes which can improve the maintainablility of the code are not silly.
You may not want them, and we may decide against them,  but that doesn't
make them silly.

It seems that some emacs hackers have a habit of keeping big thunks of
changes locally for a long time...   That's fine, but doing so should
not prevent others from maintaining the code in CVS.
