I'm one :-)

I'm not sure about "community's expressed convention for spaces" - if you
look at the sources you'll notice most files are using tabs in source, so
at least a part of the community who is writing code seem to use
tabs. 

It's the part where "code speaks" :-)

Besides that - I don't remember any vote on this issue, so please don't
confuse personal opinions with community.
