I didn't say small. I said do one thing at a time.

Mike is addressing this.

Fundamentally the problem is that we are seeing weird failures and there is not
enough granularity in the patches to test which part of the patch the failure
comes from.

The fact that the failures happen early in boot just makes it worse to debug.
