Which is my it matters for open source projects. There will be people 
with broken tooling that commit trailing whitespace.

And whitespace fixes can definitely make certain git tasks (like 
merging, rebasing or just inspecting diffs) more difficult than they 
otherwise would be. So it isn't a weird idea to aim for consistent 
white-space usage.
