Why not rebase instead of merge?

I don't want to bike shed, but the prevalence of empty merge commits in
the repo seems both undesirable and avoidable. I always rebase my work
instead of merge. Is there a reason this is not standard practice in the
repo? It certainly makes for a nicer history.

Thanks,
Geoff
