Definitely. You may think twice about the branch you' re planning to force-update. "Do I really want to force-update <this>?". But it doesn't mean you know and fully understand the "push default" rules of git.

With "immediately" I mean "sooner than several releases away".

In any case, seems I missed the train and the discussion is closed; I'll head back to my cave.
