Well, two separate changes to the same rule won't always make sense
together, so I don't think we want automatic changes like that.

And if both props aren't propped by the same player, they really should
be separate anyway, and if they are propped by the same player, it
doesn't give that player any more power for em to  manually merge them
emself.
