I understand your concern a bit in principle.

Are any of my update suggestions controversial here?

I am unsure about the acceptance for the selected software change opportunities.
So I chose a very specific patch granularity intentionally.

I tend to provide some change ideas for each affected function
implementation individually. I imagine that this way should support
the recombination of update steps to some degree already, shouldn't it?
