Yes, but that's from the perspective of their systems that would denote such changes as ... changes, right? So if they are annoyed by that, they should change their own systems that report that ... And even so, if we set Emacs to behave as I suggest (always remove them), wouldn't that mean _less_ such changes are reported (occur) in the long run? Bottom line, it makes sense to remove them since they don't do anyone anything good. But what sense does it make to introduce them to source files? -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal
