I do, but it's a trade-off.
If I split every patch upon fine grained "idea" boundaries, I'm
going to generate 5x the number of patches compared to what I'm
already posting. Massively deep patch stacks that have top to
bottom dependencies (which these patch series have) are a nightmare
to maintain and develop, and I'm already at that limit given the
number of patches I already have on top of this series. If I can't
manage the series, then it doesn't matter whether it's easy to
review or not - the work simply won't get done because I'll be
spending all my time patch monkeying instead of writing and testing
code....
IOWs, I'm making the series as fine grained as possible, but there
are going to be some patches where splitting them up is just
make-work that provides zero gain whilst increasing management
overhead....
Cheers,
Dave.
