I don't know what "keeplink" mode is and the search on en.opensuse.org 
doesn't find anything, so I can't say.  I find it odd to describe the 
buildservice as adding new patches when in reality it's people who do 
that, so I'm confused by your question.

If the "keeplink" mode has anything to do with remembering the ancestor 
revision the link was created against in the link itself I find it also 
odd to call it "mode" as if this somehow could be switched off and on at 
will.  As I already wrote this functionality must be non-optional.


Ciao,
Michael.
