Woah, no, a patch should only do one single thing.

If you have to list what it does, you are not doing it correctly.

And, as this patch shows, people liked part of it, but not others, so
you had to redo it. If you had split this up into individual patches, I
could have just accepted those and not the others.

So please, always break your patches up into the proper pieces.
