Sure, I see your point. Going by what's in the tree right now: ~5700 plain ASCII patch files, ~200 binary/compressed (mainly bz2), and only a few tarballs. All would need to be binary for this switch, anyway. There's some transition work for maintainers to make patchsets. Because some patch files are used between multiple versions, etc. Using patchsets is more of a hassle IMO, but as long as it's a standard practice, I'm fine with it...
