It's a minor issue. I think that making many small changes throughout the master branch will be too disruptive for what is a relatively minor style issue. If the change is made, I'd prefer it on core-updates. Merging master into core-updates and vice versa already requires somebody to resolve a lot of merge conflicts. I'd rather not add to that burden. --gKMricLos+KVdGMg Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJX5HQ0AAoJECZG+jC6yn8I1fkQAN0dp3EMGpKK+ZIgluuw0s7+ UpmAXvYrNMxY2bGMbK2615MULpyzPEcCEf+C/8rpe65IMJc2DhQAoMuvFWmmwtON d8oqhYBGfnKBDQGpq1lAOZazqTsjUsZXURCv45IiZyug/h19Qs7iH6tVBh2Je6Nn nPXeXxPPYmYZxdBGMZiqoG0S6ODNG0E5g56Blqrao59yxLh6BDLri9fbPo8mY8Za +0KLXu3e22Z2hSiHbeu0RLR6tOSEEmJ927Y/fUiVv9GofuLR+gnUWh8H1KHesucq iy27SupsaasiqfdKl2Q0vSx14e86HpxbF1d+K58VeiwwahrIClnpPJ3sivW61T8F VBufjg5x5CufpMv3wA2yZOejJZ9kB3ZKJtCajSWhq+p9CDIctpCnExZn6CiUkuSh Cj7u7u1eAurq67URJcu+6vB+XTFxWcrHy6FdoR1dgLaMXeJ9nUEGZDiHkyI2b6or A3FknrmFBiLmoVE14QaRpZKITOVNsFgCF4I1vWR99EIiJTl8WG9tXa/XN2TyjvI4 PopznMjYkSZijQgTue4YVOTJkaWO9JUYmGoTROgD8TtZ4C4GhUqS4H14OyisQGm1 nvHonhxCSdHV7q3KgS4yG306QZasjKtTpVlireHo64B0ii9qaS6Mnf2KMmYyBqB5 PHawkWYzhr5ZZwU0WrGb =+YO7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --gKMricLos+KVdGMg--
