Severity: wishlist

Is there any particular reason for Gnus to have its own .dir-locals.el
file?

    $ cat ./lisp/gnus/.dir-locals.el
    ((emacs-lisp-mode . ((show-trailing-whitespace . t))))
    ;; Local Variables:
    ;; no-byte-compile: t
    ;; End:

If the setting `show-trailing-whitespace' is useful, shouldn't it rather
be moved to apply to the top level .dir-locals.el file?
