The big reason for splitting is the bisectability. In case we ever
bisect a bug to this patch, we'll probably have to ask the user to
test additional patches so we can check which of the logical changes
actually introduced the problem. Anyway, since it's still a small
patch, I don't think it's a big problem, so splitting is not a hard
requirement IMHO.
