It depends a bit on the case, but yes, one option is sending the
entire set. It doesn't hurt if it is not very large, at least once,
possibly as an RFC, and then you can use it as a reference, e.g. via a
link later on, when you submit the subsets.

Another common approach is to provide a link to a branch with the
entire set for reference. That is also useful on its own -- some
people prefer to fetch a fully prepared branch to test. So I would
recommend doing that even if you send the entire series once.

That definitely helps reviewers, please do so. Sometimes people add a
sample in `samples/rust/` for that as an extra patch.

Nevertheless, maintainers will likely want to have a "real user" as the goal.

I hope that helps!
