As far as I know, the mactel patch is required for some hardware support on intel-based mac systems and contains important fixes. This does not seem like one patch too many, but an essential one for all users who, like me, have mac hardware.
Wouldn't you think that those "important fixes" would be merged upstream by now? The patch has been around for over a year, and frankly I don't see why we should keep maintaining patches if the authors are incapable of submitting them upstream.
I do understand your wish to reduce the number of patches, but throwing out patches required for support of important hardware does not seem the way to go to me.
We'll see. So far nobody complained.
