   Yes, we can certainly squash commits when it makes sense. In fact, it is 
often preferred - though if there are pieces of a PR which might be 
cherry-picked individually for backporting to branches, we often keep those 
separate.
   
   We often don't need the commit history, so merge isn't usually needed and 
rebase suffices giving us a cleaner history (when it makes sense). Also, in the 
past, some tooling like `git bisect` seemed to get more confused from merges 
than rebases but I haven't tracked whether that has improved over the years.
