Alan Gates commented on PIG-3008:
---------------------------------
bq. I am wondering if we could use the RB more often since it has an option to
hide white space changes. It might make sense to ask contributors to upload
their patches when they include white space changes.
Seems reasonable.
bq. I think that there are certain times when including both white space and
code changes makes more sense. ...
Sure, I am always in favor of common sense over hard and fast rules.

> This JIRA exists mainly to get a conversation started. We've talked about it
> before, and it's a tricky issue. That said, some of the Pig code is super,
> super gnarly. We need some sort of path that will let it eventually be
> fix-able.
> I posit: any file that hasn't been touched for over 6 months is eligible for
> a whitespace patch.
