Asking because the choice of new base is questionable. I would understand it if the rebase were on top of v2.39.0 tag, though. * If the updated series depends on new APIs and features added since the old base, do rebase on the new one to take advantage of them. * A bugfix patch series may want to avoid using the newest and greatest if it allows the series to be applied to the older maintenance track, and keeping the older base may make more sense. * If a series based on an older base no longer merges cleanly to 'master' and/or 'next', but rebasing on a newer base makes it merge cleanly, do rebase. * Otherwise, keeping the same base is preferred. When rebasing is appropriate, choosing a well-known base (e.g. a tagged release) helps others.
