We started that for two reasons: 1) The commit bot replies to the original thread when we pick up a commit, which makes our live easier as we don't have to write "thanks, applied" mails manually. 2) msg ids are unique and can ge grepped for. also there are archives which allow searching for them. http://marc.info?i=alpine.LFD.2.00.1103252150180.31464@localhost6.localdomain6 http://mid.gmane.org/alpine.LFD.2.00.1103252150180.31464@localhost6.localdomain6 3) msg ids are never going away, but the urls will ocassionally Thanks, tglx ---1463795968-636335195-1301343393=:2774--
