I think this is an excellent idea. To help with this I'll gather all non-bug VM patches and combine them into a special big patch periodically.
Once we are sure 2.4 is stable for just about anybody I will submit some of the really trivial enhancements for inclusion; all non-trivial patches I will maintain in a VM bigpatch, which will be submitted for inclusion around 2.5.0 and should provide one easy patch for those distribution vendors who think 2.4 VM performance isn't good enough for them ;)
