Do you mean we should get rid of CHERRY_PICK_HELP?

Note that you don't have to convince me of anything --- I was just
trying to help by providing my reactions and some background.  If the
Right Thing to Do as revealed by list consensus or Junio's decree ;-)
involves keeping CHERRY_PICK_HELP difficult to use and fragile, I
won't mind much as long as rebase -i works, since I don't have any
private scripts that use CHERRY_PICK_HELP personally.

Sorry for the lack of clarity.
