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.
