Splitting things up is sometimes warranted, but you have to keep
together the things that strongly need each other.

And new facilities require examples of their use.  They really do.

I simply can't look at your patch and empty commit message and figure
out why you needed to do what you were doing.

Any developer should be able to look at a patch being proposed and be
able to understand it standing upon on it's own.  This means they
shouldn't have to know what happened in this discussion thread or that
one in order to evaluate and audit the patch properly.
