I think you are reading too much into Andrew's comments, and therefore miss his point. As I understand what Andrew says, he simply is afraid that merging large modifications brings a danger of repeating past mistakes such as the HP merge. I think the point is valid, and we should be aware of that danger so that the problems don't repeat.
