I don't think it makes it easy, since I never blindly apply patches anyway :)
If this was large rewrite patches, perhaps, but for small things it's just
as easy to copy and paste it, build it and see if it needs any formatting
adjustments to be more readable.
The contents of the policy proposals is what matters, how it's formatted
is a really minor technical detail which only distracts IMHO.
