If it was a choice between this and code with the else clauses included, I'd choose the latter because the compiler will effectively ignore them as well. Though it would depend on the else if not increasing the indentation more than the original once -- if it did I'd agree with you. But my choice would be to drop the else completely if that style was allowed.
