It will only be a problem for librarians when they save footprint
library. It will impact boards with rounded rectangle pads on the next
save. I would think the impact would be minimal given that rounded
rectangle support is a fairly recent addition to KiCad.

Other the general file formatting, the missing space is not an issue.
The parser ignores white space. Since it's technically it's not a file
format change, it might be better to fix it now while it effects fewer
users rather than wait until it effects a lot of users. I was going to
make the change so if there are no objections I will continue on.
