Same. One side-effect I really like with it is really the complete freedom left to branch authors to do whatever the hell they want with their commits. Want to push your WIPs often? Do it. Want to experiment, commit, rollback, go someplace else, whatever? Do it. No one will care about the process and only the outcome of the end result will matter. And I think it removes one (possibly tiny but still) source of anxiety about how work is perceived by others. The squashed merge commit is the only one that should be properly formatted, have all the checks and validation.
