That is not "though actually", but an independent topic.

The need is indeed so real that there is a hook git-rebase pays attention to in order to help you with that. I use it to prevent myself from accidentally rebasing the topic branches that I already merged to 'next'.

Unsurprisingly, it is called pre-rebase hook.
