Those consolidations can never be "bug fix only" - part of a recipe in
an .inc file is not a bug.

I wouldn't see it appropriate for a stable branch in most cases.

If you are backporting other changes for a recipe that were done in=20
master on top of such a change this approach sounds like an option, but=20
in the normal case that the recipe is never touched for other reasons in=20
a stable branch I do not see the benefits of making such unnecessary chan=
ges.
