How would rebasing it make stable more bisectable? Once you rebase, you
don't have a tree that use to work? Although I guess you may find the
commit that caused the problem better. But rebasing creates a lot of
other issues, I would not recommend rebasing stable, as that would
totally break the RT stable tree work flow.
