I have a question about the bit in the FAQ that says "You can request and offer a minimum of 3 Fandom, 1 Relationship/Character, and 2 Freeforms, with a maximum of 6 Fandoms, 10 Relationships/Characters, and 20 Freeforms."

AO3's exchange signup interface allows for 10 total requests. Does the above mean that you're limiting the number of possible requests to 6? Or does it mean you'll still allow the full 10 requests, but that if you did the full ten, four of those would have to be repeated fandoms with different pairings/tags (since you said in answer to a question above that repeated fandoms are allowed)?

I really hope it's the latter!

Out of curiosity, and regardless of the answer above, what's the rationale for limiting requests and offers to 6 fandoms? I'd think it would be easier for people to be matchable if you let the ones who have 10 discrete fandoms max out on the AO3 limit (while also allowing flexibility the people who only have 3 fandoms to request each of those three times with different ships/tags).
