I prefer to let more people use the features I develop, so I generally
try to merge to master as soon as possible.  Then the issue with
merges from master and rebasing is solved automatically.

Even if I wanted to use the feature only by myself for a while, I'd
probably start a new branch, separate from development, which would be
a mirror of master with my changes applied.

Anyway, all this just means is our development methodologies differ;
nothing wrong with that.  I described mine because I presume it should
be easier on people whose Git proficiency is just starting to be
built.
