I think it's fine to put them in sequence when there's a textual
dependency.  If it turns out that one of them needs more discussion and
we don't want it to hold later patches hostage, we can always re-roll at
that point.

(I also think it's fine to lump together thematically similar patches
even when they aren't strictly dependent, even textually. It's less work
for the maintainer to consider 1 group of 10 than 10 groups of 1).

I left lots of comments. Some of the earlier ones may just be showing my
confusion about fast-export works (some of which was cleared up by your
later patches). But I like the overall direction for sure.
