I'd be curious to hear RMS' opinion on the matter.  Note that CMOS (and 
other style guides) are also, and primarily, meant for native speakers. 
Also note that Strunk & White say the same:

_That_ is the defining, or restrictive, pronoun, _which_ the nondefining, 
or nonrestrictive.

The lawn mower that is broken is in the garage. (Tells which one.)

The lawn mower, which is broken, is in the garage. (Adds a fact about the 
only mower in question.)

[...] Careful writers, watchful for small conveniences, go 
_which_-hunting, remove the defining _whiches_, and by so doing improve 
their work.

CONTRIBUTE says that "We prefer American English both in doc strings and 
in the manuals", so it seems to me that this rule should be used.

With that I agree, of course.
