That's probably fine, yet may I ask that you slow down some with submissions
of new versions (not just here)? Multiple versions a day are odd, even more
so when the discussion on the earlier version hasn't fully settled yet. If
after several days (maybe a week) you find that the discussion doesn't move
forward anymore, then of course it's fine to go ahead with a new version
despite there perhaps having been some loose ends.
