We are drifting away a bit here, but now that you have mentioned it, let
me add a datapoint to this -- it's actually causing issues to our
workflow, as we have scsi.git as one of the upstreams [1], and when you
rebase, it blows up our git workflow and we have to fixup things manually.
So if you are aware of your tree having downstreams, and care about not
breaking them and want to be nice to them, you shouldn't rebase that tree
[2].
[1] there are some funny technical details, but in basic principle it's
exactly like that
