Perhaps that part of the update could be considered "cosmetic", and
thus be done as a separate update -- just so people can tell which
lines are cosmetic changes and which ones are substantive.  That is
more work for you, but it makes it easier on reviewers, and it is
certainly consistent with what developers are asked to do on other
updates they make.

You'll still probably have a debate on the "wonderfulness" of that
cosmetic change, but at least it makes it easier for the major
changes to looked at and commented on separately.
