Agree.

It's preferable to have clean diffs for the docs as well.

I agree.  The Wanderer has proven his value for the documentation

to be of lower quality than those of the other documentation contributors.
If there are problems or suggestions for further improvements, we can
discuss the commits as we usually do.
