IMO, even when editing code that currently uses hard tabs, all new lines
should use soft tabs, and ideally all *changed* lines should also be
converted to soft tabs.  Makefiles are a special case of course.

Hard tabs cause several problems, e.g. messed up indentation in patches,
even if the file uses hard tabs consistently.  Personally, I'd like to
work toward a future with no soft tabs, even if it excerbates the messed
up indentation problem in the short term.

What do you think?

PS: I recommend setting 'indent-tabs-mode' to nil in Emacs.
