Whether a merge commit was created was more-or-less random, depending more on the timing of the merge than on the relationship between the commits in Gerrit (which itself is transient - if you merge a commit on the bottom of the stack and then need to rebase the others, the relationship is lost). Consistently not having merge commits is an improvement IMO. It also makes a number of manual git operations easier.
