Please, no.

This patch series is intended for the Linux kernel.  Your grandchildren
will read the above wondering "what did granddad do".  It's just lazy
for us to expect readers to have to chase down links to earlier
versions and then to figure out what changed and why we changed it,
etc, etc.

Let's give our audience a nice, self-contained and complete description
of the proposed changes which doesn't refer them to the minute details
of the ongoing development process.  A process which is utterly
uninteresting three years from now.

IOW, can we please have a complete and standalone description of *this
patchset* which doesn't refer to earlier obsolete stuff?

Thanks.
