The problem is Gerrit makes it more difficult for the submitter to 
separate the patches than for the reviewer to review them in a series; 
for a bunch of patches to be submitted independently each one has to be 
done in an independent branch.

For the reviewer the patch is marked with a "depends on" and a link to 
the parent patch. If needed the reviewer can review only the oldest 
patch until it is approved and committed then do the next. Or mark a 
patch as approved but not merge it and the submitter can go through an 
submit the patches after the series is approved.

> At least please don't make it for patches that can be easily separated like the recent systemtap series.

That is true. For completely independent patches a branch should be 
created for each one.
