Sorry about that (but also, I didn't know any better). So I guess the
guidance is:
Sometimes, you may want to work on a topic (typically your own)
which has already been in `next` for quite a while. Perhaps you had
an unplanned break of a couple weeks, or some other circumstance. In
such cases, consider sending out patches that build on top of the
latest patch series round instead of directly modifying (locally
rebasing) the patches for a new series. This way, your new changes
will be easier to apply to `next` as is, without rebuilding `next`
all over again.
Would you prefer to include this guidance in the docs as well, or is it
sufficiently rare enough that we shouldn't include it?
