The patch is simple but involves a large number of files with different authors. 
Being simple I think it is wasteful to cc a large number of different people
for doing a review. 

We'd somehow need a way to parallelize the reviews, though.  Being
simple is never an indication that the series is less likely to
contain bugs, and it often is an opposite.  It is easier to slip
bugs in to a simple, repetitive and long patch.
