It really helps if patch summaries are self contained and don't
require a bunch of kernel developers who are trying to review things
to have to do research and then figure out which links are the right
ones to chase down.  It's also not reasonable to expect your reviewers
to diff your patches to determine how much has changed and whether
they should expect benchmarks run from months ago to still be
applicable or not.

Many of us get literally hundreds of e-mail messages a day, and
e-mails are read with one finger hovering over the the 'd' key.  It
simply scales better if you don't assume that everybody else considers
the patch as important as you do, and instead assume that most people
have forgotten patches sent months ago....
