I wholeheartedly second this.

People who fiddle with HTML in sources of pages that are popular and widely
translated really need to get a clue and stop creating more pointless work
for others.

This is the latest commit that pissed me off:

http://cvs.debian.org/webwml/english/distrib/packages.wml?root=webwml&r1=1.65&r2=1.66&diff_format=h

This trend has been repeating itself for months. :(

Strolling through gobs of pointless diffs again and again is not in any way
a pleasurable or useful activity.

If this persists, I'll seriously consider formally requesting that commit
access is revoked for the wrongdoers. :|
