Because we have those rules, you know. You should send about once a week,
unless you've reworked your set fundamentally.

Otherwise maintainers mailboxes would be a serious mess. Not that

No, you'll have a lot less email. You send the set, sit tight and
collect review feedback, work it in and send again after a week or so.

diff v5..v6 - definitely not resend one day later just to pick up tags.
