I think it is good:
* When you update the patch, you only modify a single file, and not
bunch of files all over the place. Makes it a lot easier to see the
changes when you are working with the source outside of SVN.
* Adding a new patch is simply a matter of throwing an appropriate file
into an appropriate directory. More or less.
* Things can be easily tested with only a subset of patches. This is
especially useful in case of regressions.
