It does and we do.

However we have several sections of the codebase that have been formatted by 
hand. As such when you blindly do "Alt-Shift-F" you introduce
a lot of noise into your patch.

Why does this matter? It basically screws anyone who is trying to apply the 
patch across different branches / releases.

My guess is that by doing the whitespace change is a separate patch; Justin 
would be able to "cherry-pick" just the change with the fix across to a 
different release.
