The ironic thing about this is that the link they post as a justification for rebasing feature branches onto develop is actually a very explicit reason _not_ to be rebasing in this situation.

The section reads like the author thinks that the problem with rebasing public branches is merge conflicts (it isn't; it's rewritten/diverging histories) and that interactively rebasing somehow resolves this problem (it doesn't).

This smacks of something that I come across all the time: strong opinions on how to use Git held by people who don't actually understand Git.
