More thinking and discussion about this convinced me that this change is 
bad and will introduce mishaviour (if some important change are 
introduced during a merge for eg we'll silently drop them).

I'm dropping this series and waiting for Mads to provide more extensive 
explanation of what are the problematic case, why is rebase behaving sub 
optimally and how we could fixes it properly.
