In other words, if developer A is making real changes in these areas that would invalidate developer B's patches, that's fine. But I don't think it's ok to let cleanup patches invalidate developer B's work. Hope that's clear. Don't get me wrong, I like the fact that in Linux we're not afraid to clean stuff up. I just don't like it getting in the way of real work.
