You still have several months. More generally though it is find IMHO to send out a series which depends on another so long as the 00/NN email clearly explains what it needs to be applied on top of (i.e. a reference to the specific version of the other series). You should omit that other tree when posting, by passing git send-email the correct range to just send your own stuff. And under such circumstances it might also be a good idea to also include a git url, to make it easier for people to pickup the right set of things. Ian.
