I've transitioned to b4 a few months ago, I really like the tool, but if
there is one key feature it lacks based on my very own workflow, it is
indeed the capability to stack series. I often have to manage several
series which depend on each other. b4 in this case requires one branch
per series which is painful to maintain.

A big +1 to whoever will propose such a stacked Git capability :-)
