I have no issue with too many patches - my work on ffmpeg CLI is over
200 commits this year alone. Small patches are reviewable, this
horrorshow is not.

No, I dislike the fact that there's a giant uberpatch that rewrites
everything with zero explanation or justification.

Ideally, it should be a series of small individually reviewable changes.
If that is for some reason not feasible, the commit message should
contain
* good justification for why it is not feasible
* detailed explanation on what exactly is being done and why
