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?
