Would you dare to apply any (of my) scripts for the semantic patch language
directly on the whole directory for multi-media software?

Can you handle bigger patches really better than similar patch series?

Will any development (or management) tools like “quilt fold” make the regrouping
of possible update steps more convenient and safer?
