Most maintainers actually dislike that, because they (or their scripts) are used to having one thread per submission---so if you want to apply temporarily v(n-1) it would be harder to extract the appropriate patches out of a thread that includes multiple versions. Others' scripts might have different issues.

Change IDs for kernel patches

Hmm. I haven't been told to stop doing it yet (like I said, my submissions are rare). I feel like such scripts could easily be modified to only look at reroll count subject prefixes or only find patches under a given cover letter. *shrug* it's a thought. I don't maintain any kernel bits, but it's probably how I'd run it if I were to do so.
