Apparently you skipped a previous message of mine where I mention a case of a commit that rendered a package useless for many months and was not possible to revert it. Mixing unrelated commits on a linear sequence makes difficult to revert invasive features, review code and pinpoint regressions (bisecting only tells you that a bug is repeatable starting from certain commit, not that the commit introduced the bug; having the entire series of commits that implemented a feature nicely isolated on their own branch of the VC DAG makes analysis much easier, for all purposes.) For one-off changes that fits logically on a single commit, yes, master is fine.
