PS in 2 locations for the same meal

[LuluLovesDisney]

I have a couple questions about this.

I have heard of people making a PS/AR at 2 different places for dinner, then choosing the one they plan to use and leaving the other.
People have said Disney wants to stop this practice.

My questions are:
Does this really happen? Why would people want 2 PS for 1 meal? What is the current Disney regulation concerning PS/AR? Is there currently a limit of 2 PS/AR, per meal, per reservation, or is the rule different?
How will Disney implement a solution? Is this definite or just in the works?
Would only 1 AR/party prevent a party of, say 8, from having 6 eat dinner at Boma while 2 go to V&A?

Just want to make sure I understand the system.
I appreciate the help!

I am sure disney doesn't like this practice, but I am not aware of anything in the system to prevent it.....sometimes we will have a PS for one place and then change to something else, before cancelling the first one and I have never had an issue. I always try to cancel a PS/ADR that I won't use, but sometimes you just forget....The reason to have 2 at once,.....maybe you aren't sure which park you will be in, maybe you aren't sure what the rest of your party will want to do that day, etc. I think it happens alot.

Back in the spring, there were some posts on this board about double bookings getting cancelled. Evidently, WDW was trying to crack-down on booking multiple restaurants for the same date and time. I've never tried to do this and won't (too-too rude to others needing ADR's), so I can't speak from personal experience.
