I honestly don't see why. Surely fixing some of it is better than
fixing none of it. And fixing some of it shows us how to fix the rest
of it.
Each time a small piece is sliced out of the giant package, the giant
package must also be rebuilt to exclude that piece. That's a lot of
churn on a giant package with a massive number of subpackages; it would
be better to batch up pulling out lots of pieces at once.
