Hi Michael, If the main motivating factor for not rewriting commits policy is to minimize conflicts with work of casual contributors it would be better to let the RM rewrite the very tip of a release branch on ongoing basis instead of having the commit history mutate 3 to 6 months back in time every time a release is cut. Please reconsider.
