The alignment change is helpful, but I do have an argument against doing the

It breaks nothing. Quoting and alignment by default only happens when stdout is
a tty. Also, ls prints one entry per line when stdout is not a tty; you don't
even need -1.
We created a summary of common issues and FAQs
regarding the quoting change in ls(1):
