OK, if you've seen some cases where it would have helped, then fine.
Otherwise, I've personally been bitten a couple of times after having
done a change that was The Right Thing and yet unnecessary for the
program at hand. The change itself should have had no effect, and
yet I introduced new bugs... Since then, I'm more careful of introducing
only changes that I need.
