I do have to say, that during the later -rc series in particular when
people send me smaller fixes, I enjoy seeing the full patches.

But that's generally when they fit in a screenful or two (eg 100 lines
of actual unified diff or less - which tends to imply that maybe 10-20
lines were actually changed).

So the patches are fine when they are manageable and useful to see
details. It's just that 7500 lines of diff is definitely not
manageable.
