Neither V1 nor V2 have disappeared from patchwork. A "filter" on the
subject, selecting "any" state and "both" archived and non-archived
patches will return both:

V1: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/282753/ (New)
V2: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/314717/ (Deferred)

(I think that the patchwork web interface does not make it possible at
all to remove a patch anyway)

Agreed, but then we should make sure no one has comments on V2 that
they might have withheld due to the initial rejection of V2.
