Please! The document does not show real arguments against rebase, just
"questions about the necessity of rebasing in typical workflows", from
the perspective of people who do not have or like rebase. For the
opposite perspective, just look for a few happy git users.

Of course. Every user of rebase knows that: you shouldn't rebase a
public branch (and even that is OK in cases where the users know that
rebasing will be done). But here we were discussing *private*
rebasing.

Not a big problem, a small but repeated inconvencience.

Well, I can agree with that if you can agree that perhaps rebase
*could be* the best fix after all... ;-)
