It wasn't ignored, I just don't see it. All I see are detailed agreements

Indeed, I misrepresented that a bit.
I can't hope to discuss solution details if we don't even agree on the analysis. Even less if the solution isn't 100% complete yet.

Here is my two sentence solution:

Rebasing has enough substantial negative effects on contributions that we'd
like to avoid encouraging it and using it in SymPy development. The few
benefits that rebasing offers are not worth the cost of the loss
contributions.

Can you write a two sentence solution to solving the loss of contributions
due to git kung fu issues? I'm happy to read it if so.

1) I think the negative effects can be nullified by giving people a tried-and-true, undoable git workflow ("I think" is what I meant with "incomplete" above). 2) Rebasing is the only way to clean up a PR that has undergone several rounds of review.

My two-sentence position on the current official policy:

A) Rebasing is indeed a more advanced use of git, so it should never be requested, and recommended only with a reference to the explanation of the workflow. B) The current official policy is too strict, the justifications are either bogus or can be avoided.
