Hi, just one example from Gerrit 4 hours ago: "vector graphics;converting bitmaps" was changed to: "vector graphics; converting bitmaps" See: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/52546/2/source/text/simpress/guide/vectorize.xhp
Is that "missing space" an error? Not. What does this change cause? It causes 100+ translations of that string obsolete, fuzzy, untranslated, not shown in builds ... And 100+ localizers must again localize, check, edit this same string ... Is this kind of editing/"cleaning-up" of help really useful/desired? Not.
