yup.  Incrementals are a bit more hassle, but they're hugely more
friendly to people who have already reviewed the code.

And occasionally when I turn a replacement patch into an incremental,
it shows up things which the submitter hadn't intended be included.

I think one patch per "issue" would be best.  Although combo patches at
this stage would not be a huge problem.
