That's probably enough reason to remove them.

I speculate it's that when you print source code out you know that you are not 
missing a sheet when you take them with you. Doesn't really serve a purpose now 
(also, diff tools show you if you forget the newline before the end of file - 
also many editors do, even nano). 

That said, touching it at all causes churn - not sure what the upside is.
