Whitetab pull requestes can be large. This is to help ensure
that the user does not miss something in the pull request that
changes the behaviour of the program. Like someone trying
to sneak in a backdoor or otherwise weaken security.
Of course the user will be reading the pull request to make
sure that the pull request fixes the whitetab correctly.
So it is not about handholding, but rather a security
feature.
