It's a matter of taste to some degree. Unless patches are really involved, I prefer them not to add dead code. Apart from eliminating the case of the code remaining dead (perhaps for extended periods of time) if only parts of a series get applied, it also generally helps review if one can see the consumer of a newly added function right away.
