I agree it makes merging hell, but hopefully, it will merging hell
once and after that something automatic will enforce it at check-in
time the same way akpm does for -mm, and all will be well with the
world. The strategy you suggest almost always ends up with people
making both changes at once, which makes *reviewing* hell.
