+The point the the numbered patch naming scheme is for patches targeted
+for upstream adoption to not be "infected" by already-upstream or
+local-only changes.
+
+In this case there was no "infections": no patches affect each
+other.  So the ordering is just for the principle of it.
+
+The series file should be recreatable with the following command from
+within the patches dir (and manually commenting out any disabled
+patches afterwards):
+
+    ls -1 0* 1* 2* > series
