Comment (by azaozz):

 I don't have "strong feelings" either for or against removing them. This
 is more of a visual helper when inserting a blockquote, same as adding
 tabs before `<li>` tags.

 It has the advantage that if the user clicks on the button while the caret
 is in the middle of a paragraph, the paragraph will be properly separated
 (both visually and in wpautop) and the blockquote will be inserted.

 I'm not sure what the advantage of removing them would be. There is no
 need to remove the extra lines, wpautop will strip them. We can go a step
 further too: can look for line breaks before and after the insertion point
 and add them if none. Just not sure if it is worth the trouble :)
