You're right, but no one is proposing to rebase the upstream. So many users think that rebase == lie about history... That's just not what any of us rebase proponents ever do -- we do not rebase upstreams. Indeed, the upstreams I manage disallow non-fast-forward pushes, yet I rebase all the time, just not the upstreams.
