I am very sorry for you that you are so tenacious in your opinion. The
common style (not: OpenWRT style) is better in 2 ways than patching file
by file:

* patches are grouped together in one file when they belongs together
  (as in Asterisk's case)

* patches have a short description in their filename. This is often very
  helpful.
