Hoi, There are several bots who work on almost all projects of a kind. Particularly on the smallest projects where there is no bureaucrat, it is not easy to get a bot status. The consequence is that on these small projects it is harder then necessary to establish if there has been some regular activity.
When an account with more then existing 10 profiles and bot flags is allowed to be a SUL account, this would make vandalism and regular activity a lot more visible. Thanks, GerardM

True.

Seems fine as long as it doesn't mean to grant the account bot flag automatically. We recently saw it not always a good idea. (cf. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comments/-jkb- for further information: despites of its title, it was rather an issue of rejected bot flag and its operator).
Hoi, When a user has 10 bot flags to start with, I would trust such a user to do well. Mind you ten bot flags within one project... Hmmm that makes it less easy ... darn. Thanks, GerardM
