"'Too small' and 'too insignificant' is not a patch attribute that is in my vocabulary - by definition the best patches are very small and very insignificant (they just happen to end up doing something cool a 1000 steps later ;-) 99% of our problems come from 'too large' and 'too intrusive' patches."

— Ingo Molnar, in a January 18th, 2008 message on the Linux Kernel mailing list.
