Personally, and with all due respect, I don't consider this: "There
are many theoretical objections to rebasing, and I won’t rehash them
here. There’s general consensus that rebasing is sort of icky." as a
sort of expert opinion, just biased. People used to git's rebase find
it extremely useful. And, in fact, this other bit:

isn't exactly true anymore, as it is also included at least in the
standard Windows standalone installation.

We're not fleeing into any corner. Weren't I thinking that ChangeLog
present problems that should be discussed, I wouldn't have brought the
issue.

Yes. Neither of us is "recommending rebase as the main vehicle of
routine work". I was talking very specifically of a workflow I intend
to use, but I have no idea how common it'll be for other people; and
for my use, an interactive rebase would be a perfect option. I
wouldn't dream of suggest Karl to discuss rebase on BzrForEmacsDevs,
for example.
