At least "rebase" can pay attention to it and might make the world a better place.

Your final "git push" needs to be forced if you rewound beyond remotes.origin.<branch> so in that sense, there already is a sefety, but it is better to give the user a chance to notice that before the user spends more time to polish the rewound topic to perfection, only to see the push rejected.
