Not resetting the number would be very confusing to everyone, including
ourselves. The current scheme is actually pretty logical.
A new namespace per Jumbo is a good idea BUT as you already noticed, we
sometimes forget to change namespace before uploading.

This is no problem. Actually, it could be a separate page. And maybe
that would solve the forgotten-namespace problem: If the *page* for
jumbo-8 incremental patches is already in a :john:john-1.7.8:jumbo8
namespace, I presume any uploaded files to that page will default to
that namespace too?

Though I would prefer it to stay an utter mess, forcing you to put up a
git repo ;-)
