I have a problem with this. (Sorry for not responding before proposing closed.) My problem is, what about overlapping CFIs, which address issues that have to do with one another?  Suppose CFI X addresses a set of circumstances, and CFI Y addresses a different set of circumstances, and CFI gets judged on, and the result changes the set of circumstances CFI Y is based on.  CFI Y is no longer applicable to the situation, because the situation's changed.  Yet, per your proposal, CFI Y will still have to be judged as per circumstances at the time CFI Y was made, which was before CFI X's judgment changed everything.

I mean, no, this isn't gonna come up every day, but...
