The same thing happened when David O'Brien decided he didn't like the
"Version required" line in his ports and removed them, before asking for
consensus on -ports.  Please conform to the rules as they are stated in
the documentation until you get a consensus on -ports, and you make
Satoshi agree to your changes.

That said, I do agree that it seems the method you mentioned is more
efficient (no longer have to head -2 patches/*-* to find out what patch
patches which file), but what about conflicting files?  I.e.
src/Makefile.in and po/Makefile.in.  Do we only use src_Makefile.in and
po_Makefile.in in such cases, or do we force all patches to have the
directories prepended?

Just some thoughts; they seem like a good way to start a discussion on
the topic.

Regards,
