Agreed!

And unfortunately, even that doesn't work because version patches
usually start a new thread, and you lose out on what discussions were
made before it.

Lately, I've been adding more than one Link: tag. It may be overkill,
but when I post a v2 patch series, I try to have changes to the
patches have a Link tag that point to the discussion that caused the
changes.

If I have v5 (which I haven't had more than a v2 lately), I would
recommend having 4 Link tags that point to the posting of all previous
versions of the patch in order to be able to read the entire discussion
in the future.
