yes it is a good idea and many of us try to remind modders as much as we can that stand alone small mods are needed to go along side larger grouped changes that make up the bigger mods.
i take this as my guide when i mod so that everything i do is stand alone, this way you collect the shopping list of what you like and end up with only the changes you want. then you can simply copy the mods into one folder and have one mod that does just the things you want and you dont need to install a group of mods to do the same thing.
now if you are refering to "fixes" that correct problems and dont just change stuff for the sake of changing or improving it then that gets a little more difficult because some fixes require other changes to make them work or act correctly in the game. then there is the question of what is a fix as far as the way the game works vs a fix to correct non realistic settings. much debate on that last one.
