Put differently, my question is how do you value not rewriting
history vs. breaking bisectability (by accident of course)?

I never will rewrite history, ever.

Too many people clone my tree and depend upon it.

Sorry, I still don't understand. What are the consequences of:

    git revert -m 1 f1d5ca4

Then applying v3?

In this scenerio I think a relative fixup works better.

You already did that in the past:

Each and every situation is evaluated by me on a case by case
basis.
