I know that the trees are split and it is no coincidence that my patches
were sorted in the correct order. I've been working for 10 months on
this small feature and I was impatient to get it over with, so I wanted
to eliminate one round-trip time if possible (send to "iproute2", ask
for merge, send to "iproute2-next"). I requested this honestly thinking
that there would be no difference to the end result, only less pretentious
in terms of the process. If there is any automation (I didn't see any in
Patchwork at least) or any other reason that would justify the more
pretentious process, then again, my excuses, I plead ignorance and I
will follow it more strictly next time, but I'd also like to know it :)
