Why should I care whether I read one fedora message, then a Centos 
message or 2 fedora messages in a row?

I rarely scroll anywhere - the new messages are on top and I read down, 
mostly  deleting as I go.  And my mail client will reassemble a thread 
in the rare case that there are earlier ones that I'd need to make sense 
out of the most recent. I want the mailer to bring the messages to me 
instead of me having to go find them.
