Great idea. �Did that once...covers all sins!

What about full-depth patches with little concern for cosmetics, then
using 1/4" over the whole ceiling? That way the drywall is still at
full thickness for any fire codes, and you'd still have the clean, new
drywall ceiling, right? Glued and screwed, of course. The biggest
problem would be locating joists for screwing. Would there be a
sagging problem with that?
