Yeah, I always use that style myself. I mostly prefer it because the
nesting for long-running patch series with many versions is eventually
getting out of hand and hard to navigate, and I haven't seen any tooling
breaking as a result of that style.

If I'm the only one who thinks that style to be preferable I am happy to
adapt. I'm not really sure yet what the consensus is -- I'll send one
more version that includes the changes, but if we continue to be split
or in favor of the current status quo I'll drop those in the next
version.

Thanks!
