It's no the end of the world, but if it's avoidable, it should be, in my
opinion.  A bigger problem with rebasing is that it means a single
person can push changes to the rebased branch.  As discussed previously
in this thread, a good policy would be to suggest avoid *both* rebases
and merges during a feature branch development.  This way we avoid both
problems, and if the branch is short lived, it should be bearable that
is isn't synced with master for its short lifetime.
