Also, if we do need to base another series on some older
patches, the usual way to do this is to include those
patches in the series in a suitably split-up manner, not
to squash them all together into a single patch (with no
signed-off-by tag).

For "assume this as a baseline, please review the other
patches but this patch is not fit to go in", that should make
the whole patchset into an RFC patch so wo don't accidentally
apply this patch.
