But sending a separate attachment also makes things more modular, as it 
allows using the exact same abstraction collection over several different 
patches. As those object-classes (abstractions) become more familiar, they 
become something that doesn't have to be relearned per-project and it 
becomes a common vocabulary across projects.

It's two different kinds of modularity.
