Please avoid describing the functionality as a requirement for upcoming
sibling patches. Justification to split the code should be generic functional
or code organizational requirement. We should avoid the word "next patch" in
the commit message, as it would be confusing when you read it later point of
time. The commit message should be self sufficient pertaining to the exact
code change set in consideration.
