Re: Who's the student here?

Isn't this an auditing vs efficiency issue?

For example if they submit 100 fixes as a single patch that touches 100 different components then whom ever is analysing that patch would have to check multiple components and some which they might not be familiar with. I guess in terms of efficiency it might be easier to check a single patch with multiple fixes (esp trivial), but in terms of an audit trail that patch just touched multiple components and that seems bad to me.

I have no idea what is actually going on with this story and it seems that there is a lot of hearsay going on.
