FWIW I agree with Uffe here.
For host/ files, which are mostly written by a handful each, it's still a nuisance. (One could argue that they are often git blamed by people not familiar with mmc subsystem, thus giving off the wrong picture).
For much of the core code you already have to go many revisions back, I'm grateful for each I don't have to.
Something like the mq rework would have been a good moment to do these minor nitpicks, if something like that ever happens again, but even then I would prefer just one commit including everything.

Christian
