The problem is that patch submissions are not independent, and Rietveld
does not facilitate reviewing a branch substructured into patches.  As a
result, if a single developer has three related issues on review while
five co-dependent issues are accumulating on his computer, in a manner
of speaking, things are easy to get tied into knots.  For independent
submissions, there is no real problem with letting them travel the
pipelines regularly.
