Hmm, didn't know about that... but in this context, I wonder how useful it is. As a maintainer, given that patches submitted don't specify their patch-id, tracking down which patch is the pre-requisit would be a mammoth task, whereas a lore.kernel.org link would indicate the pre-requisit immediately. lore.kernel.org links are easy: https://lore.kernel.org/r/ I can see patch-ids are useful for automation, but lore.kernel.org URLs are useful for humans. -- RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTP is here! 80Mbps down 10Mbps up. Decent connectivity at last!
