The version tag used to nominate has bitten even experienced mesa
developers. Not to mention that it deviates from the one used in the
kernel leading to further confusion.
Simplify things and omit it all together.

LOL. How did that happen? :)
I do like the change, thanks. In the rare case where a patch might apply
to an older branch textually but cause problems, we can always state
that in the commit message. What do you think?
Cheers,

Another option would be to align it with the kernel one, but that could
bring even further confusion.
I'll gladly welcome any input on the topic.

This "CC" syntax for patch nomination will cause patches to automatically be
