I have no idea.

Remember, I get over 1000 emails a day to do something with, I have the
short-term memory of a squirrel and have no idea if someone has sent
something prior to this at all, sorry.

It is your job as a patch submitter to make it as easy as possible for
me to apply patches.  Sometimes that requires extra work, and rebasing
patches due to other people's patches colliding with your work.  That's
just part of the development process.
