Sure, I see your point. Going by what's in the tree right now: ~5700 |
| 6 |
plain ASCII patch files, ~200 binary/compressed (mainly bz2), and only a |
| 7 |
few tarballs. All would need to be binary for this switch, anyway. |

There's some transition work for maintainers to make patchsets. Because |
| 9 |
some patch files are used between multiple versions, etc. Using patchsets |
| 10 |
is more of a hassle IMO, but as long as it's a standard practice, I'm fine |
| 11 |
with it... |
