In the future I think we should send fixes separately from the rest of

Perhaps Linus can share his preference with us?

Just make it clear to me where the patch is headed, if it is
a fix or a new feature.

Also mixing stuff in big series is of course problematic because
all the CC:in on MFD patches and whatnot that I don't apply
makes the picture blurry, but sometimes it is anyways needed
for context so it is a soft requirement.
