So there are two conflicting needs... I'm not convinced that there are huge numbers of people reading LKML as a list TBH, and if you are sending things as a series then the way you're doing it at the minute where you don't CC the cover letter to people makes things confusing as it's unclear if there are dependencies to worry about. --MnLPg7ZWsaic7Fhd Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEyBAABCgAdFiEEreZoqmdXGLWf4p/qJNaLcl1Uh9AFAl9zKo0ACgkQJNaLcl1U h9BJ9wf4mEIT3UglAONn9EPv4I6DolXuWfJHGs52mxyy1JeuXGyjVMYRuKfw8ZE5 TbgRR0pAg1aZUsqI/T/PWSVDmUCNzL6QM4RbG8ZUSFw47v509iCABBidbK+PLnwo y5A+IrAPTDVviLFNJm2SfFN3XEgpsGmOqhyuhKiGNeLOryaPNvOmiRF6cwND7Vbq 97kDmafX0KgHVsmK/br50D/XJpOJSR9T2hB5hjQRoVl44a6aV0eZWwDDZyH57kat KO59OyGGHDyWrsF9oHWajymCB1kMZZ4YLiwCyjx98g74uRLSiSaGwrsr4IeXGn66 Mmpn90mfVDnP/Es10vbKsC+JZShG =qH7V -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --MnLPg7ZWsaic7Fhd--
