Honestly, there is very little reason to ever do the fast-forward if the new development doesn't depend on new features, and I have absolutely no issues pulling something like this that is simply just a continuation of a previous development tree.
So you did the right thing in not re-basing, this looks fine to me.
Obviously, every once in a while a development tree would want to update to a newer base, just because of various infrastructure changes that could otherwise cause semantic conflicts etc if you end up basing stuff on something _truly_ ancient. But a release or two? No problem at all.
Thanks,
Linus
