I feel helpers are good when we are transitioning from an established Git behavior to a new one. Or when the operation is potentially dangerous.

But a fast-forward merge is not dangerous, an in fact it's what the vast majority of people would want.

Even more, I'm now feeling confident I will be able to put a proposal that allow a simple configuration to fulfill the need of these users without affecting anyone else negatively.
