exactly who is "we"? Please speak for yourself. I, for one, do not want unrelated changes to be merged in one commit, because that habit breaks extremely useful tools such as "git bisect". Besides, having many different stdenv/* topic branches does not imply that each of them must be merged into master separately. You *can* merge them all at once, of course, if you want to. It just so happens that I wouldn't want to do that because the practice violates elementary principles software engineering.
