Stop sending me huge PRs; a rant

    Just an idea which I haven't personally tried: AI agents understand technical limitations, such as CI failures. Maybe make a CI job which checks that a PR has a reasonable size, and auto-reject with a polite message if it's not? Something like, "This PR size exceeds the limit of N lines that we accept for review; if you implement a big feature please consider splitting it in several smaller PRs." There are chances that it won't help, but it might!

      Yeah, that's a fun way to get massive stacks of PRs that are individually incomprehensible.
