Hey, I was looking to solve this issue, and according to this PR, we are trying to use only one hatch for all patches based on the first patch, but what if we needed to use different hatches for different patches? This would not be possible. Could someone elaborate on why we shouldn't be implementing it in the second way?

@Impaler343 You are correct. That PR is too simple (well it would have been a step in the right direction). Fundamentally, we'd want individual hatches.
