current as in v3? Or you'll make v4 similarly humongous?
Look, we're not trying to be difficult. If you keep posting 6kLoC
at a time it will sit in a queue for 3 days each time and probably
reach v20. It is just quicker to get code upstream with smaller
submissions.

There are some very seasoned upstream contributors within Broadcom,
please talk to them?
