There is possibly a limitation against re-assigning ID numbers based on an old precedent. CFJ 1358 found that "name" in R1586 does not equate to "title" for proposals and rules, but rather by common usage "name" refers to "Proposal [ID number]" or "Rule [ID Number]" because that's how we refer to those entities in practice (with titles being secondary). Therefore R1586's uniqueness criteria prevents ID numbers from being re-used. https://faculty.washington.edu/kerim/nomic/cases/?1358
