Don't make extra work for yourself that slows down the rate at which
you can merge stuff. When the tree is updated with these patches,
I'll fix any conflicts in my patches and retest them, then send them
to the list again.

As a maintainer, manually munging a bunch patches around to fit,
then asking if they are correct, then finally merging them doesn't
scale - push that work back out to the patch authors where it does
scale and who have probably already done the work.... ;)

Cheers,

Dave.
