This is a part we keep discussing from time to time, and I still don't 
understand why it bothers you so much. The only reason is to keep the 
branch non-rebasing, because it has downstreams. Code-wise, it's always 
equivalent to what end up being merged, but without the actual superfluous 
merge commits.

This of course is a good justification to rebase for-next exceptionally; 
so I've just that.
