That is true. OTOH, sending them as individual messages (or as replies
to a single "0/N" message) can cause them to arrive out of order.
In most cases patches sent as a group need to be applied in a certain
order. In many cases they will fail to apply, and in others they
might apply out of order but not be "bisectable" out of order.
IMHO it is a lot easier to deal with the "funny looking" mailbox
window than to deal with the issues caused by misordered patches.
