Does the acronym GAFL ring any bells? It's not that idea is worthless - it sure as hell is a useful thing, but what the bleeding hell is that splitup supposed to achieve? Please, people, try to think for a minute. Patch series are good not just because; there are rational reasons for that. None of those applies here; if anything, you've made sure that this patchbomb will be less reviewed. Seriously, get a fucking life. This is way past ridiculous. It does not make changes easier to test. It does not help bisect. It does not help to make changes more self-contained. It does not reduce the odds of conflict with pending patches. It does not simplify conflict resolution when porting. It does not split the change into easier understood parts. Hell, it doesn't even make it easier to revert broken parts. Use the common sense, folks.
