"Spelling fixes" and other cosmetic or trivial changes are very damaging to
vendor branching and to be strongly avoided in the contrib area in
particular. In many instances, a 1 character change causes hundreds of
lines of repository bloat due to the inefficiency of the RCS file format.
I am going to back these (and the other that I can find) out.
If somebody wants the spelling fixed, submit it to the package authors.
Cheers,
