Did I interpret any information from your presentation slides in an
inappropriate way?

> And why do you create a patch for every occasion in the same file?

This can occasionally happen when I am more unsure about the change acceptance
for a specific place.

> Do you want to increase your patch count?

This can also happen as a side effect if such a source code search pattern
will point hundreds of places out for further software development considerations.
How would you prefer to clarify the remaining update candidates there?

Markus
