It used to bug me but not anymore. If the code was linenumbered, and 1: was always that blank line, then it would really bug me and I'd wanna do something about it. I got used to it, and like the formatting effects (i'd hate to go back adding in a <p> or <br> everywhere I relied on that extra newline). But then again, i'm not sure i'd really mind if it changed. I say go for it.
