So I think updating the PR (by force-pushing) is really nasty, and we
shouldn't do it. Instead, please push a new PR, mention that it
obsoletes the old one. (of course, I wished that github would know a
concept of PR "obsoletion" natively...)

Also, I think in this case we really should require an issue being
created for the entire thing that groups the various PRs together. (In
fact, I am pretty sure we should *enforce* that all PRs have an issue
attached to them. Maybe with a bot or so that creates issues for all
PRs that reference no issue).
