It's just confusing. Patch series numbering is used for ordering within a posting of a patch series, the fact that a given patch might have previously been posted along with some others isn't relevant if you send it out again in a different form. People will hopefully expect to see the rest of the series so they can check for interdependencies and so on, if the subject says there are 9 patches in what you're posting then there should be 9 patches. Similarly threading individual modifications to patches into the middle of prior postings makes it hard to track what's going on if things aren't applied - "I want version 1 of this patch, version 2 of that one" and so on gets hard to follow especially if there's a thread around them. You get problems like some revisions getting missed in the middle of the thread.
