My mailbox gets 200-300 patches per day (not counting replies), so I have no idea how that could be manageable if all versions of some series were threaded to itself. Some old thread popping up to the top, half-read, deeply nested like 20-deep indentation? But even in second workflow, reviewing individual patches via b4 or mutt after shazaming (my main workflow of DT) not via inbox, would get huge irrelevant thread of past discussions requiring me to look for stuff actually for the review. How to find actual patch to review in this huge thread? I tried many times, takes much more time than reviewing simply current version. b4 is not so more complex, honestly it's just new interface and after learning a few new commands is straightforward and easy. And solves successfully, without creating noise or problems to others, all problems which you might be trying to solve: referencing earlier versions, easy comparing between any version, collecting trailers, sending nice thank-you letters with commit and tree references etc. I believe there should be no excuse for modern maintainer to not use b4 in the workflow. The same BTW for submitters of anything bigger than 3-patch series. And for maintainers, along with `b4 review tui` above statement will only grow. Final note, you will receive template-nags from several maintainers if you keep send them series threaded to past versions, but of course there are also folks who are fine with that.
