That's a lot of churn

Places like these are certainly candidates that one might want to git-
blame to figure out more about the background.

Not sure if the cost-benefit-ratio would then pay off?
I would skip these. Fixing a typo in a key-word (say, a register name) would be useful, but I'm not sure if any of these count.
