Apologies, no harm intended.

At times, I've seen the "# vN" notation used, I suppose both to indicate
that the *ideas* presented in the earlier version warranted Reviewed-by
from so-and-so, though this particular version still needs detailed
review, and that the approval of the reviewer of the earlier version
should be sought out before merging a subsequent version.
