I think we typically avoid rewrapping after minor edits like this
since rewrapping introduces unnecessary noise which makes it more
difficult for reviewers to identify the important (actual) change.

I was skeptical at first.  But I saw that this line is only 55
characters long.  So I think (like Taylor) that rewrap is in order.

What if I make a commit with just that word drop and then an immediate
fixup! commit which wraps the paragraph?  That way the review is still
straightforward.  And hopefully the integration part is not complicated
further.

Don't bother. That's even more work for yourself, for reviewers, and
for the integrator, and it increases the cognitive load for everyone.

There are far fewer reviewers than there are people submitting patches
to this project, so it is helpful for submitters to do what they can
to make life easier for reviewers, and foregoing re-wrapping of lines,
in general, is one such way to do so. However, this is such a minor
change that it isn't going to matter one way or the other, especially
if Taylor, as interim maintainer, is willing to accept the extra noise
caused by re-wrapping.
