I think this goes against what is commonly used in FreeBSD and suggested by
Chicago Style Guide.  In fact, this commit reverts many cases of my fixes
(single space to double) and just now contradicts my local huge patch to
UPDATING I am currently working on.

Perhaps changes like this should receive broader exposure and discussion
before being committed?  For me, I'd prefer it backed out.  Single space
after sentence break really lowers readability for monospaced fonts.
