Very well, then, I'll abide by the group consensus but am on the record as: * strongly opposed to multi-commit PRs, because I believe it clutters history, and * also not a big fan of forcing devs to rebase and squash prior to submitting a PR. IMO this is busy work, and *may* in some small minority of cases hide information that would be useful to reviewers.
