You may laugh at the image of the cackling, moustache twirling villain -- after all, I've used the image myself in hyperbole. But what you're deliberate neglecting is that rebase *has been requested already*, even when it goes against all what Fossil stands for. Not so silly any more, it seems.
But it's still happening. You don't get to reframe this discussion by putting everyone who asks for a change in the same category. Sorry, I won't let you do that. Me asking for rm behavior today does not mean I'll ask for rebase tomorrow, nor does it mean that someone who does has *anything to do* with requesting a certain rm behavior today.
And just to be clear, I dislike rebase. Were I to jump ship to another VCS, it'd be Mercurial because it supports a very Fossil-like view of history. I used to like Git's "everything but the kitchen sink" approach until I came to Fossil, and now I don't.
Let's use a bit of hyperbole of my own. Should companies/projects like Google, Apple, Microsoft, GNOME, KDE and Mozilla abandon their adoption of some sort of human interface guidelines? These companies and projects manage to produce vastly different experiences, despite the fact that Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, Ctrl-X and Ctrl-Z do vastly similar things across them all. Saying that GNOME or KDE is suddenly going to be like OS X or Windows 8 because it uses the same key commands doesn't make sense, and I think it'd be exaggeration to accuse GNOME or Mozilla of heading down the path of Windows were it not to have these keyboard shortcuts and suddenly choose to adopt them.
