That's going to be a problem with any snapshot approach. For the most 
part, interesting patches are going to hit a number of common hotspots ISTM.

I'm fairly resistant to putting less-than-ready code in the tree, I must 
say.

+1 to the idea of patches in smaller pieces that has been mentioned 
upthread. I tried to do that in one or two places recently, but it could 
go much further.
