Smaller, more frequent patches, have the advantage of getting more widespread testing of a common codebase - the problem with testing individual patchsets separately is that it's quite possible that with only a few people testing any particular combination, bugs appear in a large -pre or -rc patchset, and prevent others from testing the rest of that patchset easily. A -pre every week, even if it only had a few changes, would get more bug reports in, (in my opinion).
