   @kernellogger @sven @vegard @monsieuricon I do that religiously as well. Every multi-patch series gets a merge commit (forwardable or not).

     @kernellogger @sven @vegard @monsieuricon and how a simple request did spiral into a philosophical discussion of this dimension is a bit beyond me as well. We could've just ended this with "I personally don't like the links. If others find them useful then great but please don't try to convince others to add them." End of story, everyone is happy and can move on.

     @kernellogger @sven @vegard @monsieuricon The other thing is: Either make it official policy that you don't want to see any Links in the commit messages or just accept that some people do and some people don't. But if you make it a policy then document it somewhere, please.

     @kernellogger @sven @vegard @monsieuricon But the links are useful independent of that. They simply provide a trivial jumping point to lore. If the series was managed via b4 it's trivial to back to all version of the same patchset.

     The benefits for everyone else should simply be what counts here, not a perceived discomfort.
