Good that this hasn't been causing too much extra work for you. If you have any trouble applying the patches I send, just let me know and I'll fix it. I think the main drawback of sending patchbombs is that we don't get good reviews from the community. Nobody wants to dig into a so many patches at once, so it would probably be much better to have the patches sent one-by-one (or in relevant sets). Unfortunately, we still have many internal rounds before we're satisfied with the patches. But I'll see if we can change that.
