A large problem with this is that patches in our -source packages assume a
certain order. A patch may depend upon another patch; removing one breaks
the other. We have this problem when cherry-picking changes from
bitkeeper; I'd imagine it gets even worse when you attempt to pick changes
from -source packages.
