It also depends on whare you are located in the dependency tree.
Being kbuidl maintainer I have very few people that actually
pull me git tree (except from -mm and -next).
So I rebase at will and have so far not got a single complaint
from anyone pulling my tree.

But people like Davem and Ingo sits much higher in the dependency chain
and thus they have a very different set of users and thus a different
set of problems to take into account.
