it will be easier to refactor portions of the code with the large patches merged in a buildable and (hopefully) usable/testable state.
That's pretty weak sauce and I think you all know deep down.
Let's not lose the scope here, please. AFAICT, we are still talking about particular mainboard ports that share, beside boilerplate, maybe 50~70 lines of code. From my point of view, we have much much bigger problems elsewhere.
Who pays for refactoring? Probably someone else.
That's unsustainable for the project.
If we'd make what is said about this case a general rule, maybe yes. But I don't see that David would have implied this.
