Oh. I've never really received that message, at least not at all clearly. I've been hoping that the -fix patches are actually pro-reviewer, for those reviewers who have looked at the previous version. A full resend of something you've already looked at is quite annoying! I try to mitigate that by sending the heres-what-you-changed-since-last-time replies. It's a little more work at this end, but that's not at all a problem. I see a couple of options here a) I can fold the -fix into the base patch then send out the resulting diff as a reply-to-all. b) We can just deprecate the -fix things and ask people for full resends. It depends on what people prefer. How do we determine that?
