I'd like to encourage submaintainers to do this too -- my personal rule of thumb is that 50 patches is the most a pullreq should ever grow to, and that only in exceptional circumstances. This ought to make your lives easier since there's less retesting you need to do if I have to bounce a pullreq back for failure to compile and you need to drop a patch from it. thanks -- PMM
