I don't really have a strong opinion. I think it's sometimes hard to
achieve both full bisectability and fine-grained patches.

In the same vein, in your review of comment PATCH 5/8 on
policycoreutils, you rightfully tell Adam that the patch adding the new
restorecond should come *before* the bump of policycoreutils that drops
the built-in restorecond functionality. This is obviously correct, but
it means that there is a step where you have both the new restorecond
package and the old policycoreutils package, possibly stepping on each
other, or maybe even with restorecond not building (because it needs
the newer version of policycoreutils or something).

So, it's probably hard to have something that is both easy to review
(fine-grained patches) and bisectable (one big patch).

Best regards,

Thomas
