Yeah, you could have applied the other two if there were no conflicts. If there
were conflicts then it gets complicated, and the best answer would probably
have been to continue applying directly as patches.

This is the drawback of us sometimes applying patches directly -- when we do,
we no longer put them on a branch of their own that you can use as base. We
used to once upon a time but it is quite a bit of overhead for us and the
upside was pretty limited.
