However, I am optimistic that I will be able to make matching
changes upstream.
Sorry, but for myself, I think it is a terrible waste of time to be
thinking about this for fdl*.texi. The blank lines don't hurt anything
and you're not supposed to be modifying those files, so can't we just
leave them alone? Argh.
As for these files:
>> * doc/Copyright/assign.translation.manual: Remove empty lines at EOF.
>> * doc/Copyright/request-assign.future: Likewise.
>> * doc/Copyright/request-disclaim.changes: Likewise.
The originals of those files live on some inaccessible FSF machine
somewhere, as far as I know. You're not really going to take up
Donald's time with such a thing, are you?
Painfully,
