Reason:
Lerna doesn't work well with merge commits and may mark a package as changed even though it's not changed except for the version bump from the last release.
Background:
We introduced a release branch as a staging area for the next release while development continues in the master branch. Eventually we publish the packages from the release branch and make the version bumps in package.json and tags. It creates a merge commit in the master branch when we merge the release branch back.
