I will _always_ resist a general cleanup just for having  cleaned  up
code.  I  want  to keed a readable history of changes for the code. I
will not generally break this just to make the code better readable.

Whenever a functional change or bug fix is required to a source file,
I am willing to perform such a cleanup.

But no generic/global cleanup patches, please.

Our management frequently gets lost in thought.   That's because it's
unfamiliar territory.
