If you do it such a dumb way then sure. Most of the patches in the 2.6.8 and 2.6.9 ones are post 2.6.9 fixes already in the base tree because of the lack of a stable base kernel tree in Linus new model.
In order that we don't go collectively insane maintaining it those are broken out from the feature patches we needed. Generating a single giant diff loses all the useful info. Alan
