Yeah, we definitely don't need it.

Thanks, I've pushed it to a same-named branch on our repository so Uwe
and others can test-drive it more easily.  Feel free to ping me when I
should update it.

It looks like you regularly rebase it onto master.  I like that but I'm
not sure what users like Uwe think.  If you "git pull" a rebased branch
(and you have no local changes), will that just work or do you also need
to "git reset --hard origin/branch"?

For the time being, I suggest you keep on rebasing until someone
complains.
