I personally do not have any issue with that, as long as you would help us convert existing users that what was known as pull is not available and new pull means fetching only. If I recall correctly in this thread, you also advocated to always have tracking branches. I am a bit worried about losing the promiscuous pull usage, which can easily become a regression for people like Linus in the integrator role unless done with an escape hatch.
