I think my last reply to this part missed the point a little, so let
me try again.
In multi-patch series, requests to make improvements to early parts
that would be obsoleted by later parts may seem strange --- isn't this
just wasted work? Sure, occasionally someone will stumble on the
early part using "git bisect" or "git log", but isn't that rare enough
to not be worth worrying too much about?
And I'd agree with that reaction --- for a documentation nit like this
one, that benefit alone is probably not enough to be worth the fuss of
tweaking things.
When I focus more on early parts of a series, it is for a different
reason: from a release management point of view, it is useful to get
the early part of a series "cooked" as soon as possible so it can be
exposed to users in "next" and then become a foundation for later
patches in "master". So we try to get as much of the early part of a
series into that state as we can, and to merge the early part even
without the later part as soon as the former is ready and valuable
enough to users on its own.
Relatedly, ensuring each commit is "complete" in this sense on its own
gives us more flexibility in case a problem is discovered later: we
can revert a patch that is causing issues without having to revert the
preceding part.
I think that might be part of the context I didn't convey well, and
why I want to get this in tip-top shape and start using it.
Thanks,
Jonathan
