Or is > that just waste of human bandwidth? Depends. Post 100 RFC patches, i won't look at them. Post 21 with a cover note making it clear you are planning to submit them in blocks of 7, i might. But it is best to assume reviewers have small blocks of time. 21 patches take 3 times a long to review as 7. The block of time might not be enough for 21, so the review gets differed. 7 are more likely to fit in the available time, so it happens quickly. Andrew
