I don't think it's up to us to tell people what files they should run patches on on.. That doesn't mean that pure style cleanup patches in an area you don't understand are a good idea, so don't send them. This is different when you actually do a major overhaul of an area, in which case I'd actually like to do a first pass of style cleanup and refactoring before submitting the real work.
