Please don't do this. Your topic is not the only one I am looking at, and being able to find the whole thing together is always more efficient than having to go back, re-read the discussion and pick the latest iteration of each step individually (which will not work if the topic needs reordering of the patches in it anyway).

Please do not read anything in a topic being (or not being, for that matter) "seen". It means "the maintainer has seen it and thought it might be interesting at one point of time in the past" and nothing more. It certainly does not mean the maintainer is keeping track of how the topic is evolving and knows which piece will be replaced and which piece is already done.

Thanks.
