Please don't do that.
There are valid reasons for rebasing, but "just because" is not one of
them. The valid reasons are things like "I noticed that a completely
broken patch had made it into my queue, so I rebased to remove it" or
similar.
One common theme for valid reasons tends to be "..and I needed to
rerun all the testing", so in general I get very suspicious if things
are very recent, because clearly they didn't get very well tested.
