The FDT process says that we explicitly do a single patch at a time for risk mitigation. We'd like to do multiple patches per day, but FDT isn't yet fast enough for me to be comfortable making a case for multiple windows per day (the work Stuart ATM around killing slony will help with that).
Purple in particular have been getting backlogged with lots of small orthogonal patches, and have asked that we get some solution in place :). Francis and I have discussed this and we agreed that until we can realistically do multiple schema deploys/day, we need an outlet to keep single item flow and avoid batching. However, the logic in the policy is still solid, so we're taking on additional risk when we combine patches : accordingly, either Francis or I need to approve a multiple-schema-patch FDT deploy. I'll update the docs shortly to note this escape valve.
