Only if the tool is able to deduct which patch it is version 2 of.
Once it can do that, we wouldn't need that mark.

There used to be a time where no SCMs (distributed or not) were used.
Traditions are nice and all - until they get in the way.

I've been approached by flashrom developers already. There's no issue
with keeping patchwork alive for them (and the mailing lists will
continue to exist anyway).

It's just that for coreboot, the infrastructure doesn't work all that
