Why do you have to do it all at once? You can't improve the codebase piece by piece?

Shipping all the changes in a monster PR is usually not a good option. One big reason why is that you do not create any value until the whole thing ships. If you ship piece by piece you can create small amounts of value every time you ship.

Also, if it's a "small feature", why is it 5k+ LOC?
