Fair question.

First: even though the logic is connected the work happens in different packages, with different test suites and logically it’s seperate. I want the ability to traverse history of each feature separately even though they’re connected and I develop them at the same time. So package #1 has moved forward but I actually changed my mind about API for package #2 and want to roll it back. If all work happened on one branch I don’t see a simple way to do it, without rewriting history and cherry picking particular changes.

Secondly: I want to push changes separately for ease of review. Big PRs wait longer for reviews and the longer they wait the more conflicts I can get because something else has been merged while I was waiting for review.
