I too am not fond of threaded iterations, and I prefer a new thread be
opened for each iteration.

If submitters are going as far as to use --in-reply-to, then can as well
reference the original thread in the post-commit changelog, or in a
cover-letter.

I also like to have such a reference, as I can go and skim over the
previous reviews to assess the changes. So, an automatically-superseded
patch(set) in patchwork is rather detrimental to my workflow, in fact.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
