So, what I would prefer to see is the justification of the whole
changes somewhere in the patch stream, so that patches can do,n

patch 1: update X to not use bi_destructor which will soon be removed.
patch 2: ditto for Y
...
patch N: bi_destructor is stupid because blah blah and after preceding
         changes is no longer used.  Kill it.

so that when one sees a patch in the series and wonders why the change
is being made, [s]he can follow the patch stream and understand.

Thanks.
