I agree that we should not do it because it pollutes change history of files, git-blame results, and review-diff in PR. But at the same time, I think there is no reason to add a new trailing whitespace via a new commit. It is nice if we can enforce this rule only for newly added code (via style-checker) not to add new trailing spaces.
