Up to now there used to be a common consensus, and it didn't seem necessary
to specifically mandate anything but the Signed-off-by: order. Unfortunately,
we live in a time where everyone deems it necessary to question everything.
That doesn't just include the order of trailers. I even get buggy patches
where the authors argue that "but this other driver has the same bug, so it
should be ok to introduce it here as well".

No, I am not going to explicitly mandate the order of trailers. If I'd do
that, people would just find something else to argue about. I'll keep doing
what I have always been doing: The more pointless arguments, the lower my
review priority.
