Spraying garbage all over source code destroys editor agnosticism, even if some editor exists that can hide all the crap like trailing whitespace, spaces where tabs belong, and screwed-up indentation. Use emacs all you want. Don't force others to use some particular editor by spewing garbage all over the kernel source that requires some special editor to hide.
