That isn't very flexible.
By using cpp I can use #include recursively and at any point of the
series. I can also use #ifdef or any other cpp construct. I can insert
an architecture specific patch by enclosing it in #ifdef __arch__. If
I cat the files together I would have to split files into smaller
chunks.
Obviously I hope that quilt includes a feature like include and even
conditional patches in the future.
