There are obviously times when a cover letter is required but what's the
point of that for this particular series?  What do you want the cover
letter to say here that isn't obvious to everyone just from glancing at

Do we really care about that for staging?  I can review the first 67
patches basically automatically so they take me about 5 seconds each.  I
feel like splitting it up risks introducing more conflicts so it
actually makes the process harder/worse.
