Honestly, there is very little reason to ever do the fast-forward if
the new development doesn't depend on new features, and I have
absolutely no issues pulling something like this that is simply just a
continuation of a previous development tree.

So you did the right thing in not re-basing, this looks fine to me.

Obviously, every once in a while a development tree would want to
update to a newer base, just because of various infrastructure changes
that could otherwise cause semantic conflicts etc if you end up basing
stuff on something _truly_ ancient.  But a release or two? No problem
at all.

Thanks,
