I feel the bug with support for line-spacing under NS should be fixed  
ASAP, and that eventually, after 23.1, if people try the ns-expand- 
space feature under NS and end up liking it / wishing it was present  
on other platforms, line-spacing might be extended and expand-space  
removed.

I don't see a benefit to removing the latter right now during  
pretest, and it would hurt existing users as well as the opportunity  
for others to try it out and judge whether it is a feature worth  
having in core emacs.  There is no conflict with line-spacing -- the  
effects can be additive.
