Just cc'ing is not enough. I was going to send my v2 for XFS/iomap
support today. I didn't announce that as I did not think that I had to.
Admittedly it will be effectively an RFC, as the forcealign feature (now
included) is not mature. But it's going to be a bit awkward to have 2x
overlapping series' sent to the list.

FWIW, I think that it's better to send series based on top of other
series, rather than cherry-picking necessary parts of other series (when
posting)

Thanks,
John
