I ask to you: why did you send v2 patch as reply to v1?

Supposed that I interested to apply only this v2, instead of v1.
With this situation, I downloaded mbox for v1, which contains v2
patch as reply to v1. And git-am would instead apply v1 instead.

So why not send this v2 as separate message-id?
