i don't understand what the new 'stack' system for PRs on github is for.
@lain there is a what now?

GitHub DocsStacked pull requests - GitHub DocsUse stacked pull requests to break large code changes into a chain of smaller, dependent pull requests you can review and merge independently.@lain oh no. GitHub is turning into TikTok with their short form content, but I guess this would work for very, very long code changes except at that point you might as well make the code more elegant and push in smaller batches.

@Mellivora i mean, there's already a 'smaller piece of code that you can review and merge independently', it's called 'commit'. I guess if people make bad commits, this can be alright, but just find it confusing.
@lain @Mellivora They couldn't copy Gitlab's Epics, which are made for that purpose, so they chose to do it the worst way possible I guess. I think it's supposed to be used like Epics for large tasks that are split independently into small PRs, so you don't review a 15K+ PR at once.

@phnt @Mellivora maybe people are just using it wrong. i see it used for like stacks of 8 PRs and each PR is ~100-150 lines.
