What I grasped from the article is that double spacing is now being
slowly deprecated in favour of a single space between both words and
sentences.
Double spacing is certainly less common in 'the real world' but it seems like
there are a disproportionate number of people who use it in open source
communication. Still a minority though, and I agree with the general idea of
standardizing on single space in libvirt code
