I did test on a gen0 to check if there is a problem due to this (and it seemed fine).
I will make a note in changelog as you suggest

In v1 the second line was kept 1 space to the right of previous line.  In v2  I kept
them at the same indent, since your original comment was Misaliged.

I will change these two lines to
if (ifsd->generation)
	activate.gen2.start = status_chunk;
else
	activate.gen0.start = status_chunk
