Yeah, I always use that style myself. I mostly prefer it because the nesting for long-running patch series with many versions is eventually getting out of hand and hard to navigate, and I haven't seen any tooling breaking as a result of that style.

If I'm the only one who thinks that style to be preferable I am happy to adapt. I'm not really sure yet what the consensus is -- I'll send one more version that includes the changes, but if we continue to be split or in favor of the current status quo I'll drop those in the next version.

Thanks!
