I could simply keep the line separations and avoid the tedious insert-erase

I think I'm not alone in this opinion, consider the following snippets:

It's funny how sometimes this works out. I was just hacking on a service's configuration and had the same thought. I had spaced everything out so that it wasn't as overwhelming, and with a sigh grouped it all back together because that's how all existing services work.

I would definitely appreciate this change in the style standard.
