It may avoid trouble, but it also makes regression testing useless, since all problems with this code will point to the patch that enables it. It's not a good idea to add code without making use of it.
Otherwise regression testing would be useless as well, because I can only move all D3DOPS over at the same time or none. I can't say I use the new code only if the app does this or that. By enabling the code as it is added, I cause additional problems during the span of patches where the new codepath is not yet as feature-rich as the old one.
So I only see two ways, the one I've chosen here, or sending one huge patch that does everything at once
