You have your wish: most people already don't even know how the safety net works. :P The existence of questions on a site designed to ask questions is not any indicator of how often rebase causes problems. Nobody posts to stack exchange every time it works and they're not confused. Aren't the questions on stack exchange a good thing, if what you want is for people to not have to learn the safety net? Just commit and rebase until there are problems, then if you get confused, go look up the answer on stack exchange or post a question if you don't see one already. Seems like the system is working?
