Zitat von Eli Bendersky <eliben at gmail.com>:

I would like to point out something that stands out in this list of issues: such a method of producing dozens of patches simultaneously is extremely unwise, unless there's a crucial piece of history I'm missing. It is much more prudent to start with one or two exemplary modules, and if those fully pass code review, send out patches for others. The reason is obvious - code review may turn up problems or requests for change. Going backwards to modify 57 patches is not something anyone would want to do.

Robin did exactly that: submit a few patches first, receive feedback, submit more patches. At the end of the project,he submitted his entire work.

Regards, Martin
