Question: Any objections to only allowing "rebase" commits in the repo?

ATM, "merge commits" are enabled and used in this repository. Would there be an objection to stop using them here, in favor of using the "rebase"-type PR commits?

I ask because of the publish/release automation work I am doing - one potential way forward is to include/detect a keyword in the HEAD commit (of a PR) title, to trigger a new automated release. However it seems this mechanism would break is a PR is merged using "merge-commit", that adds a commit on top.

WDYT? I can submit a PR to modify this if the proposal is acceptable.

BTW, I am willing to rework the commits of any of my PRs (e.g. squash them) if requested in a review, to keep a relatively tidy history.

Sorry for the long delay. I must have missed the notification that this issue had been created.

I have no problem with this.
