But not sure where should I add this info. In release note or just cover letter? Any suggestion? Thanks. It should be done in the first patch introduced E-tag, so that it will be in the git log history. And of course, it does no harm at all to mention (briefly) it again in cover letter, so that reviewer/maintainer has a brief understanding of your whole patchset first. --yliu
