My own honest answer in turn is that potential reviewers of your code
may not think they'll have time to look at code which they cannot
assess because they don't know how it is (going to be) called.

If you feel you cannot handle reviews of the whole set all at once,
then it seems to me the problem is yours to solve: post the whole
series, let the whole review happen, and then just look at the comments
for each patch in turn at your own pace.

This way you avoid posting dead code *and* you get to handle patch
reviews piecewise as you would like.

Amicalement,
