Yeah, Im still confused when to break it to pieces.

But Isn't it much more easier to drop some patches if I wrap them to
individual,
isolated patches ??

I mean, for example that elfutils patch set that I posted, it has 12
files and if
one of those files (except #1 and #2 ofcourse) seems to not work out
then isn't it
much more easier to just drop that one problematic patch than to
remodify one huge patch again and again? Right?

And I would never have submitted that firefox patch in one huge chunk
because
it would have been too much work for poor reviewer(s)
(thanks a million about reviewing it Arnout! i haven't forgotted about
those fixes you mentioned
and will kick new patch series out soon)

So for small packages single patch is kosher but for large (where does
the line go?) it is acceptable
to break it (like what Yan and others do) ???

Regards
Stefan
