Personally I am here more with you than with Werner here: as long as all
changes are of a similar character not achieving an identifiable goal of
their own (or being the result of running some script that may warrant
rerunning because of required fixes or because of getting applied to a
different branch with different code in it), I don't see the point into
splitting them into separate commits.
