The thought that comes to my mind is "if it ain't broke, don't fix
it".  I think the benefit from these changes is marginal.  Is this
really worth the extra churn in the repository?  It does make diffing
revisions of the affected files more difficult...

So I'd say that making changes like this is fine if you're changing
the text of a comment or the code anyway, but otherwise I'd leave
things alone.
