You're right that it's better when things are better, but did you look
at the concrete changes in this case?

Typical example:

> -This variable only applies to buffers where `buffer-file-name' is
> +This variable applies only to buffers where `buffer-file-name' is

I doubt anybody, non native speaker or not, would find the former
ambiguous.  The change is simply nonsensical pet peeving.
