If one keeps them, please put them into a file that tests for that feature exclusively, as we often find turds, oops, I mean bits in the tree were someone did the wrong thing and accidentally put in CRLRs. testcrlf would be a good file name for such a test. :-) Further, the revision control system has to be told these files are binaries I suspect, in order to not screw up merging and checkout and so on. I mainly see people accidentally leaving in the CRs, and the svn and git screwing them up, then I audit and submit patches to `fix' the entire tree at once...
