Makes sense to me, not that the SE needs my approval. Although I'm not
clear which is the 2nd thread you're touching upon (other than the
one named in the subject line).

I'm posting more to share the sidenote that yes, there are two very
different editions of the Seridei Eish -- one by Mosad haRav Kook and
one by the Committe for the Publication of the Writings of R' Yechiel
Yaaqov Weinberg. The "Committee" edition has a table that maps back
cross references to the MhRK edition. The reason for the change is that
the original edition came out uding the author's lifetime, meaning that
topical structure was compromized by the fact that pieces were finished
later. (Much the way the Igeros Moshe revists topics in later volumes.)
The new edition is more organized, being postumous (2003, Y-m ih"q). But
by then many mar'eh meqomos were already printed using MhRK citations,
so the Committee had to provide mappings if their new layout was to sell.

Tir'u baTov!
