Yes, PLEASE, it is PITA to rebase over and over again. Especially for long running builds as in platform-ui. This is wasting committers' time and frustrates contributors.

Reality though is that no one rebases his change multiple times and wait for gerrit again just because another commit went in, I've tried and in platform.ui I gave up on 3rd rebase and just pushed it right after rebase.
