When you review as many patches as we do, it's _MUCH_ easier to review a
patch that only does one thing, to verify it really does that one thing
properly.  If you mix it all up, it takes a lot more effort to try to
review it all correctly.

Remember, you need to make it as easy as possible to understand the
change to make me seem horrible to reject your patch :)
