It is not just Ok but is preferred; that is a good way to document where
the behaviour changed how, and for what reason ;-).

Perhaps an illustration in the documentation may help.  Until I read what
Matthieu wrote in his message, I didn't quite get why anybody wanted this
new behaviour---my understanding of which is to get something like this:

    [PATCH 0/2] Here is what I did...
     [PATCH 1/2] Clean up and tests
     [PATCH 2/2] Implementation
     [PATCH v2 0/3] Here is a reroll
      [PATCH v2 1/3] Clean up
      [PATCH v2 2/3] New tests
      [PATCH v2 3/3] Implementation

when sending the re-rolled series, with the --in-reply-to for [v2 0/3] set
to [0/2] of the original.  If you illustrate the current behaviour in a
similar way in your commit log message, perhaps side-by-side to save
vertical space, it would help make it clear why people would want the new
behaviour.
