That's a curious bit of advice.  There are certainly a lot of maintainers
who would not want that.  It never works with anything beyond trivial
and short patches (we have had patches going to v13 + and hundreds of
emails) - no email client handles that depth and complexity in
a coherent fashion. Replying to previous versions is one of those things
that makes sense until you hit the 'unusual cases' ;)

Oh well. I should probably propose a change to that Doc, but it make
take some time for me to get around to it.

Thanks,

Jonathan
