imho, no. Because there needs to be a discussion about whether to remove
code from the tree, and whether that code may be useful for something
else.
-patches is designed to take actual patch files (to reduce bandwidth on
-hackers) but not to host planning discussions. If this had been a
simple patch without feature changes or other larger ramifications, then
it is more clearly a patch-only topic.
