I note at least 3 people have submitted patches in other formats in the last week.
I'm one of the guilty parties (as is Gavin, I'd imagine). As I explained in an earlier mail to -patches, the reason I've been submitting unified diffs is that Gavin and I have been using the Monotone version control system for development, and at present it only generates unified diffs. I've been meaning to submit a fix for that -- I'll send the Monotone folks a patch adding context diff support on Monday or Tuesday. So I pledge to stop sending unified diffs ASAP :)
(BTW, I actually find unified diffs much easier to read. But since the consensus is apparently to prefer context diffs, I'm happy to oblige.)
