I dunno. Unless the real body of the changes that "depend" on this small change comes before people forget the connection between them, I think it is detrimental to churn the codebase like this. If the real body of the changes do not conflict with other topics in flight when it materializes, then having this small clean-up as a preparatory step in that real series would cost us nothing---that clean-up would not conflict with other things either. If the real thing would conflict and need to be adjusted to play well with other topics before submission, having this small clean-up as a preparatory step in that real series would cost us nothing, either.
