Yeah, a sniping flood is not a good thing and should not be
encouraged. The fundamental problem is that a proposal that can create
an action that targets a proposal can lead to this situation. Another
variation on the theme is that a proposal number could be used as a
trump card (I hope Wooble doesn't object to the card analogy). For
example, submitting a blank (or meaningless) proposal at the very
beginning of the nweek and revising right before voting to target a
proposal and getting precedence because of the lower proposal number.
