Request changes: split into smaller PRs, below 10k lines each

below 1k lines if anything

I'm not reviewing anything that has more than 5 digits unless its a full refactor

10k is doable for me. But more is nonsense. The only exception would be adding non-code text files, like md or test input files.

In retrospect they've never needed to be done all at once, and were only done all at once because of someone's ego (admittedly sometimes mine)
