Perhaps when you pick patches that are unnecessary
for any other reason but to allow easier picking of
actual fixes, the nominal unnecessary patches could
be marked as necessary for follow-on patches.

Also, when you send these patch series, please use
an email delay of at least 1 second between each
entry in the series as the threading is otherwise
poor in various email clients when sorting by time.
