Not GP, but... In the context of recent event, [0] where not reviewing thoroughly enough some tiny patches had a major come-back-to-bite fallout, I can't help but wonder:

How, exactly are you expecting an increase in average patch size to help?

I did read through this debacle when it came out actually, I'm thoroughly on team Greg. I suppose my question was separate from malicious patches - I was interested in knowing if this incremental "merge tiny patches as and when they're ready" mode of development has ever caused issues with half-baked solutions affecting other parts of the kernel where perhaps it wouldn't have otherwise done so if the release was given more time for polishing and testing.
