Yep, I agree. People who configure their email client so that a thread
doesn't move to the top of their inbox upon receiving a reply are
prone to missing subsequent replies in that thread. I suggest that
people in that position change their email configuration, or use
lore.kernel.org, which doesn't suffer from this bad configuration, for
example:
