For several months now, Services.pm has noted that RFC-822 (whitespace
indentation) for multiline fields in a .info is deprecated. And
there's a commented-out warning for that syntax. Any reason not to
uncomment the warning and head towards retiring that style completely?

Supporting this style makes it impossible to include fields for which
leading whitespace is significant within a heredoc. For now, this
mainly applies to python InstallScript in a SplitOff. Given that we
settled on 'InfoN: <<' blocks for future incompatible .info files,
this will apply to even top-level fields in those files.
