Should be done urgently. I also hate trailing invisible stuff.

Do you use Windows (a manualizing tool) or Linux (an automating tool)?
If the latter, "sed" ist the tool of choice. You can use "find" to retrieve
all unit files in all subdirectories of the mse code tree, feed them to sed
and have that remove all the trailing whitespace in all files by issuing a
single, albeit complex, command.
The "sed" call might look somewhat like so:
"sed -i 's/[[:blank:]]*$//' <file name>"
where the "-i" tells sed to apply the expression within quotes "in place"
to the file, thus modifying it, the expression in single quotes is the
editing command that removes white space at the end of any line (blanks
and tabs) and the <file name> specifies the file to modify. If used in
conjunction with find, the characters "{}" have to be used as the <file
name>, as that's the marker telling "find" where to insert the names of
the files it found.
There are ways to achieve that with Windows as well, as there are
implementations of "sed" and even "find" for Windows also.
