Bits and pieces that are of digestable sizes. I would wait sending anything large-ish (like more than 10 patches) before 'next' is rewound, which is the sign the cycle is in full swing. > Is it pointless because nobody will review them anyway?

Especially given: > I like to make changes in the smallest irreducible steps each step in your series should make sense by itself already (otherwise you would have rebase-i'ed them to collapse too-small pieces into one that makes sense standalone on top of the earlier steps). > Is a big pile of changes like this welcome in any form?
