What people have done here in the past is just send a big patch series 1..N, with "patch" 0/N explaining the overview to any potential readers. Sometimes folks also post the mega-patch as well. I think this has worked pretty well in practice. I also think it is ok if one patch is a lot bigger than the others. It doesn't always make sense to try to split things up too much, it just depends on the problem. Tom
