OK, that's fine but usual way is that such need is expressed in the
cover letter, so maintainer will know what to do. What if this patch
should go to fixes and rest normally to for-next? How do you expect
maintainer to apply the patch? Entire thread and then manually move the
commits? Why making it so complicated for the maintainers?
