Hi, Justin!

I can agree with you that sending rebased patches too often can be a little
annoying. On the other hand, otherwise, it's just red in Cfbot. I suppose
it's much easier and more comfortable to review the patches that at least
apply cleanly and pass all tests. So if Cfbot is red for a long time I feel
we need to send a rebased patchset anyway.

I'll try to not doing this too often but frankly, I don't see a better
alternative at the moment.

Anyway, big thanks for your advice and attention to this thread!
