Do you mean generating a single patch vs nutch? There are a lot of fixes and
improvements in nutch 1.1 that I cherry-picked to nutchbase later. If we
generate
a larger patch, and then this branch is blessed as "trunk" then history for
those improvements will be lost.

Or am I misunderstanding you here?
