I generally dislike unnecessary whitespace changes as well: for one
thing, they make diffs much harder to grasp.
However, I must say that when I brought up this issue in the past in the
context of Emacs development, most of other developers didn't feel it was
that bad. So, as extreme as this particular case is, at least in
principle, Emacs development does not seem to discourage such gratuitous
changes. At least it didn't until now.
