A cover letter like this doesn't make any sense.

- Please enable shallow threading for git-send-email, so that the patch emails are (direct) children of the cover letter. One of the goals of the cover letter is to group the patches under a common parent message.

- The other purpose of cover letters is to summarize the goal of the patch series (high level problem statement, chosen solution, maybe mention one or two details if they are important).

Thanks
Laszlo
