It is not about the number of changed lines - it is about *what* gets changed.
A single character change can invalidate the tags of a patch and a huge
diffstat solely cleaning up whitespace will not, even though we prefer if
those get done in a separate patch to ease review.
I'm sure you can think of examples.
