Yes, it is possible to drop a patch from the audit/next patch stack,
but dropping patches is considered *very* bad form and not something I
want to do without a Very Good Reason. While the v2 patch is the
"right" patch, the v1 patch is not dangerous, so I would rather you
just build on top of what is currently in audit/next.
