Yes...and the justification is that proportional font systems resolve
the issue of delineating sentences without the need for a second space
(they actually don't because they are improperly implemented, but that's
another issue).  But we don't work on proportional font systems, we work
with git, on command lines, with fixed spacing fonts, all the things
that indicate double spaces are actually preferred even by those people
that are proponents of single spacing.  And on top of that, current
research suggests maybe the single spacers are wrong after all :-o

Anyway, my original point stands.  It's controversial, as you said, so
Steve should do what Steve feels is best and not worry about anyone
else' opinion on the matter.
