I indeed meant separate independent change-sets. By splitting it up in
multiple standalone change-sets the entire change become easier to
handle, and the chance for getting accepted becomes larger. By making
1 big series you actually say that the patches from  the series cannot
be handled separately and that it must be treated as a whole, which is
not the case for this series. Clear?

Kind regards,

Remy
