Things get messy for others if they merge your work into their own changes - they will need to rebase their work, too.

As long as you put up your updates with an explicit "don't merge" tag, it's fine (except that github discussions will get lost, which is not-so-nice; you should summarize these discussions in comments in the rebased code, but this still isn't *that* optimal).

A messy history isn't *that* much of an issue. We mostly need it for bisecting, and possibly to trace back a decision (in which case we'll want to look at the discussions again).
