Hi,

Serhiy Storchaka seems to be worried by the high numbers of commits in https://bugs.python.org/issue32030 "PEP 432: Rewrite PyMain()", so let me explain the context of this work :-)

You could have (and still could) made that a master issue with multiple dependencies. Last summer, I merged at least 20 patches for one idlelib file. I split them up among 1 master issue and about 6 dependency issues. That was essential because most of the patches were written by one of 3 new contributors and needed separate discussions about the strategy for a particular patch.

I completely agree with keeping PRs to a reviewable size.
