Sorry for the dump question because I have not studied this part of
the code in any extensive way, but how many changes at maximum can be
applied within a single ApplyMessageContext? I am wondering if we
could run into problems depending on the number of relations touched
within a single message, or if there are any patches that could run
into problems because of this limitation, meaning that we may want to
add a proper set of comments within this area to document the
limitations attached to a DML operation applied.
