Yes, obviously. I have never worked anywhere where breaking commits
were allowed, and I did not intend to suggest that breaking commits
were a Good Idea or useful. They emphatically aren't.

The point is, this only applies once it's in the ghc repo. Works in progress may well have such commits as long as they are cleaned up on pushing --- which is why you would squash commits together losing intermediate history, which is what started this thread. (This point was actually made earlier in the thread, just not in so many words.)
