I disagree. It helps both development and porting to different branches to be able to cherry-pick the regression test individually.

That is why I put in a verbose commit message, so that you do not have to guess. And even the test title talks about this. Seriously, I am very much opposed to changing the patches in the direction you suggested. In my mind, they would make the story substantially worse.
