When it comes to keeping them separate when applied, I'd disagree also...
Keeping the changes small and functionality oriented helps:
a) bisect-ability and blaming/reverting granularity
b) gives an opportunity to better explain the change in the commit message
c) easier fixing of merge conflicts (if any)
d) learning curve for new developers in the log (as to how to add features/fix 
bugs)
e) a bit more burden on maintainers ;-)
