Well, you have to account for the fatigue :-) I’m not knowledgeable enough to discuss the benefits and downsides of merge commits vs fast-foward rebase, so I’ll leave it to others. But I think you make a valid point in that our current linear mandatory-rebase strategy is cumbersome, heavy on the CI pipelines and generating a lot of noise. That being said, that’s only one of the three issues I raised in my latest message (the other two being: how we’ll be handling Issue pages from now on, and how patch reviewing can be made a bit more lenient and smoother). Jonas has started updating the CG, but that’s bound to reach a roadblock if the underlying policies are not discussed and agreed upon first. Cheers, -- V.
