Many times each day.  Most submission to the bzr mainline are done with
bundles.

Yes, rebasing is very uncommon in the bzr community.  We would rather
evaluate the complete change than walk through its history.  (Bundles
only show the changes you made, not the changes you merged from the
mainline.)

In an earlier form, bundles contained a patch for every revision, and
people *hated* reading them.  So there's definitely a cultural
difference there.
