Patches are an integral part of the conversation about development, I 
think trying to split them up is awkward at best.  Do people really 
still think that the potential for larger messages is really a problem?  
By the way, what is the actual size limit on hackers vs patches.  I 
would imagine that most patches would already fit in the current hackers 
limit, especially since you can gzip.
