OK, how about "encourage" rather than "should"? Doing merges of a ton
of patches is rather time-consuming and can lead to bugs making it
through because the mass merge makes it hard to do a thorough review.
If someone has the time and inclination to try to do the merge
themselves it is appreciated.
