Re: Multiple considering?

Several points:

Think of all the race conditions if multiple considerations were allowed. Three people might consider for reaping, but the node is only going to get reaped if any one of those considerations meets the criteria. And what if I feel strongly that it should be kept? I guess I'll have to vote 'keep' for each consideration, and hope that someone else does too.
Think of two considerations addressing the same thing, both with the same vote outcomes, but with different recommendations.

I think it's just going to make the consideration system even more vague and difficult to act upon if we allowed multiple simultaneous considerations on a single node.

Besides, when a janitor cleans up code tags, (s)he's probably going to fix that broken paragraph tag at the same time even though that wasn't included in the initial consideration.

Well, I had considered those risks, but as I wrote, I think that one should see the previous considerations and only add another one in those rare cases in which the previous one missed something. It's all up to people's well behaviour, and all in all I'm positive about people, although not about all people. Overall, it seems to me that both extremes are not completely satisfactory, but of course the current system has the big advantage that it has been working fundamentally fine up to now, so I see there's no point in barking any more, and I won't.
