Tim Starling modified the standard distribution of JSMin[1] in some good and some bad ways. These blank lines are the result of one of these modifications which I find to be misguided. He's basically only compressed horizontal white-space, leaving new line characters in place. The blank lines you see are where the comments used to be.
I have made this point before, clearly upon deaf ears - but I will make it again.
You could have just said "because Tim thought it would make debugging easier", and left out all the insults: "misguided", "deaf ears", etc. We've each given our opinions on this issue previously, the only thing you've added here is a dollop of incivility.
Your bullying has not changed my position. I think this is a minor issue, and I have better things to do than to argue about it. I don't intend on doing any more work on JSMin for the time being. Feel free to make the relevant change yourself.
