I often do this because I move fast when I get momentum. But to be honest, even the best reviewers I’ve worked with find it a pain on their end. It doesn’t necessarily lead to better change sets or better reviews. And if there’s significant rework in a prerequisite, it’s significant cognitive overhead to keep the stack tidy. In a legacy codebase sometimes significant rework isn’t a few easily rebased/edited changes, sometimes it’s an entirely different effort, even if the downstream work still depends on it.
It’s good to do small iterative changes, but it’s not a silver bullet for review challenges.
