I like to leave a blank line at the end of items that have bodies, but I
found functions like org-metaup, org-metadown, and org-refile were
leaving that blank line behind.  Here's a patch to fix that:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
diff --git a/lisp/org.el b/lisp/org.el
index 5eb0bc8..e3d71b7 100644
--- a/lisp/org.el

I can't think of a reason you would want to leave trailing blank lines
behind, but in case some people rely on that behavior, here's an
alternate patch that creates an option called
org-preserve-trailing-blank-lines:

If this is accepted, perhaps the function org-back-over-empty-lines
should be renamed to org-back-over-lines.

Regards,
Jason
