Comment 3 for bug 1245564

In the case of patches, the smaller the patch the more probable it is to be accepted. That's just a function of having fewer points to object to. You could have a perfectly valid patch fixing two problems held up because of a discussion related to only one of the solutions... and the result could be that neither problem gets fixed. So it's in everyone's best interest to deal with smaller patches that do one thing at a time.
