It is basically a gold rush were even the big operations don’t want to be involved with anything, other than selling shovels. This bubble is going to burst and there is an unimaginable about of money invested if this scam.
I have made worse, I used to do a cascading merge everyday to move stuff from dev branches to staging to production. Then I did a merge in the opposite direction for a small selection of branches so they could get their updates from staging. Feature branches were rebased as needed.
