I feel that you're using journalistic techniques to steam roller through your
wishes.  Let's look at the full quote:

       I tried that in `font-lock-comment-face', and it is ok, but having the
       text in white is clearer and easier to read.

I think it conveys quite a different impression.

All these stylistic changes that you are making are probably not worth arguing
about but I think you should look for some real agreement that they are an
improvement before making them.
