You're not wrong - but that's not the point. Personally I'd really prefer we 
had four spaces everywhere; I'm not entirely sure why we chose this convention 
in the first place. However, it's the convention we have now and changing it 
has serious implications - almost every recipe will have to be changed; 
backporting changes to stable releases will be made more difficult; submitted 
patches crossing the switch will be difficult to apply, history will be 
polluted, etc.

Changing this is not a small undertaking.

Cheers,
Paul
