There is one rule that is more important than any other rule:

Code your patch based on the official source code or the closest possible
version of it if you need a certain functionaliyt from another patch.

Without following this rule it is next to impossible to quickly figure out
what code belongs to one patch (and how it works) from a simple visual diff.
This was one of the worst problems integrating (and removing) MegaPOV
patches into 3.5 .
