Joe, your pedantic approach is really hard to work with. Please work on it.

The fact is, there *is * a reason to avoid the pedantic "change to new
version" - pointless churn.

We have a lot of the original style spdx markers, because those are
what we started with. And changing them is pointless.

I know you love your scripts to change things around, but to everybody
else it tends to be just extra work and noise.
