I'm new to this area, so please forgive what might be a silly
question: would it make sense for maintainers' -next trees to keep
a stable git history?

Some maintainer trees are already stable and append-only, which
gives linux-next users/testers stable commits to point to, instead
of ephemeral commits that can disappear later due to history
rewrites.

Would getting rid of these ephemeral commits make linux-next easier
to work with?
