Thank you Nico for thorough explanations about the benefits of a rebase-like feature and how it could grow our userbase. I hope there will one day be a rebase-like feature in Fossil, in line with the superb Fossil philosophy. Thank you Nico for your interest and energy to make Fossil better and more widely appealing.
