Looks fine to me.

Sometimes if it's just a pure scripting change, people send me the
script itself and just ask me to run it as a final thing before the
rc1 release or something like that.

But since in practice there's almost always some additional manual
cleanup, doing it this way with the script documented in the commit is
typically the right way to go.

This time it was details like whitespace alignment, sometimes it's
"the script did 95%, but there was another call site that also needed
updating", or just a documentation update to go in together with the
change or whatever.

Anyway, pulled and just going through my build tests now.
