Yes, that's a thing that happens - usually in that case the early patches are bugfixes related to the work done to enable some new feature that is the main thrust of the series. You can ask people to split things out and model it as two separate serieses but that's a bit of faff for something that's broadly a tooling issue. --10umIZmsQfZQCRTC Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAABCgAdFiEEreZoqmdXGLWf4p/qJNaLcl1Uh9AFAmopgdcACgkQJNaLcl1U h9AGXAf+LeonR/qvctvEJ87itIWxTqYDsPwt425WtgX6+evIPzwMwbxPpvpwRjQD 8196nBrL8Hsrktg+p4MQ8kTyrC2z1DQC00856GCv8PyKSIk3UuE2BdCPJBQEaa6M ZQcdFu2FjxcOKkQrIP/nEsNhHoyNgDpOzlm71gSVtnKEkBEqvI0QMXgBRPBNIneK w4QtsS5A/TUtX2+73+BMlgvN2ygjTyiMeozno+Kea/HrTS88s8F8EKpMDh4HJhUq PzJ0TR358OECDAvV8CCN/tI77DJJ9gE4f1BcFo3bs6mrL9eBKWHnhG73YBDV/fi8 saSNIJovPpeoemuJ1ytuZ0SPn3cDlQ== =SJmF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --10umIZmsQfZQCRTC--
