I completely disagree.  I see nothing wrong with patches that are  
purely style cleanup.  Someone doesn't have to be doing significant  
work in an area of code to fix bad style in that code.  We've had a  
problem with bad style lingering in some files precisely because the  
area of code isn't being touched much.  It would be great to see those  
files cleaned up.
