An example of what I found to be invasive before was a series of int and size_t values being interchanged. I would end up making some small changes, finding the header needed to change, that would then require a bunch of other small changes to 4-5 other functions. Gathering a series of these together into a single code commit would mean touching a bunch of files in a bunch of places. It just felt like too much to send over at once.
Proper conversion from int and it's close siblings to size_t and ssize_t was a huge amount of work and touched nearly all the code in the early MySQL -> Drizzle effort
