The response to this informal RFD has been both underwhelming and 
inconclusive.  I got one vote here (namely, yours) for Option 2 and one 
vote by e-mail for Option 1.  And in the thread that led to this RFD, a 
third poster wrote that "allowing cross-posts, or many cross-posts, is 
likely to result in chaos, flame-wars and worse", which could be 
interpreted as supporting either option.

Given the lack of a clear consensus to change the moderation rules, I 
think the best course of action is to preserve the status quo for the 
time being.

Regards,
Tristan
