Mostly changes to indent setting upset users. If nobody complains,
there is just a theoretical cleanup idea, better leave it alone.
The reasoning is that some languages have a preferred or recommended
style. If that is widely supported then the indent script can use those
values. If not, then better keep whatever the user has set. One can
always set the values in an "after" script.
