I'd like to use this specific example (and some lessons learned doing
this in openembedded.master) as a way to say "commits are cheap, and 20
commits for 20 recipes for 20 1-liners isn't a bad thing".  If we do
this as one commit and there's a subtle bug somewhere, the bisect says
"this big list here".  And you can probably find it.  But if you do this
as 20 commits, you know where it is.  And if it's harder to fix (some of
them were) you can just revert for now and not loose all of the work you
did.

Now, separate pull request?  Certainly, and then you can just pull and
check since to me that's a lot easier for the one-liners.
