Yes. There seems little value in unqualified people debating if it is

The mainstream FOSS licences all predate minification and seem to have been

We have some of that, but heading further down that road would be a good

I don't know if we are talking at cross purposes, or if I missed it, but
this paper:
http://elie.im/publication/text-based-captcha-strengths-and-weaknesses
does not try to answer my question.
What I want to know is "*How many humans get turned away from editing
Wikipedia by a difficult captcha?*"
That was not the end of the problem I was referring to. We know our
specific captcha is broken at turning away machines. As far as I am aware
we do not know how many humans are being turned away by the difficulty of
it. It's a safe bet that it is non-zero given the manual account requests
we get,
Even ignoring openness and privacy, exactly the same problems are present
with reCAPTCHA as with Fancy Captcha. It's often very hard or impossible
for humans to read, and is a big enough target to have been broken by
various people.
I don't know if it's constructive to brainstorm solutions to a "
useful but time consuming
thing to provide. Patrolling for typos is not.
Put it this way, if I concede and agree that the bikeshed can be green, the
people who spent three hours arguing for green should feel obligated to
turn up to the working bee to help with the painting.

And PS, as I've been dinged for this a few times this is now in my .vimrc
to highlight trailing whitespace in vim.
highlight ExtraWhitespace ctermbg=red guibg=red
match ExtraWhitespace /\s\+$/
autocmd BufWInEnter * match ExtraWhitespace /\s\+$/
autocmd InsertEnter * match ExtraWhitespace /\s\+\%#\
It should be an ignorable warning.
There are occasionally situations where trailing white space is necessary.
MySQL for instance can be funny about combining multi line strings into one
query, although I don't think it presents when called via PHP.
