Hi Konstantin,

The new series version handling has a bit of an inconvenient interaction
with the new version being required for rebasing reasons. The status of
the series is keyed off whatver version of the series that is currently
applied and if a new version is sent it'll be offered as an upgrade. If
that new version fails to apply to something useful a common way of
handling it would be to say so and wait for the submitter to resend but
if you mark the series as waiting for a new version without applying the
current version then any time you check for updates the version that
fails will be seen and the series moved out of waiting which is
unhelpful. It'd be good if the new version tracking noted what the
expected new version was rather than assuming that it's anything newer
than the currently applied one.

Thanks,
Mark
