If I understand what you're saying (I think I do), then I disagree
strongly.  Tabs are 8 spaces.  Trying to change that, and assuming 
everyone will do the right thing, I can't see working.

Of course that doesn't mean the _indentation_ must be 8 spaces, 
and you are free to customise your editor to help with the 
indentation, but changing the tabsize is not the way to do it.
