shrug To each their own, I guess.
I can definitely appreciate that opinion, I just... disagree. I don't really give 2 shits about a file having some stuff in it that I don't personally use, so long as it still has a purpose. I.E. I'll take a little clutter in a file like that, that basically never gets looked at or edited, over the chance of cluttering up the repo itself, or PRs, or history with stuff that has no purpose at all.
