It will be easier then before to make sense of that
file, because after the hundreds of changes it'll look
a lot better.

People will get the new version and that will replace
their local ones which will also be upgraded (to the
better).

Next time there is an edit there will be no need to
fix hundreds of meaningless whitespaces.
