I agree with you. But it's a reverse engineered protocol, and I only got
the complete picture of how it works by implementing all new functions,
and then step by step renaming the parameter.
My question was also related to the ones who do the code review. Also
many small commits will result in many compiler test-runs. I don't know
how many ressources they take.
I've started to split my big commit into smaller ones, I think this will
be possible without having a non-working version in between.
