There was some discussion of that upthread, and Peter argued that many
patches only need one OID anyway so why try harder. I'm not totally
sure I buy that --- my sense is that even simple patches tend to add
several related functions not just one. But as long as the script
tells you how many OIDs are available, what's the problem? Just run
it again if you want a different suggestion, or make your own choice.
