Well, I think it would be easier to manage as split patches, yeah.
I think it'd be infrastructure that needs to be carefully reviewed,
while the other ones are mostly boilerplate. If I were the committer
for it, I would push that initial patch first immediately followed by
conversion of some process that's heavily exercised in buildfarm, wait
until lack of trouble is evident, followed by a trickle of pushes to
adapt the other processes.
