Currently if the user were to re-subscribe to an existing collection
in their account, it will override the existing collection. If the
user renames the collection, the display name will also be
overwritten to the original name given by the the person sharing the
collection.
I think part of the reason for not allowing two of the same
subscription in a users account is that currently there isn't the
ability to delete a subscription on the web UI. The ability to delete
a subscription is a feature scheduled for 0.7, so maybe we can alter
this proposal to allow the user to make the decision if they want to
add two of the same collection into their account.
Though I'm not sure why someone would want to have the same
collection twice in their drop down list? I cannot think of a reason
for having two of the same collection on the web UI—does anyone have
a use case for doing this?
Especially since the target user we're satisfying for Preview is not
someone who is sitting in the web UI for a long period of time
managing multiple collections as a desktop user might be doing.
Does that make sense? I'll make an alternate proposal in my follow up
e-mail.

Why would we let someone do this without giving them the chance to

[yes] [no]"
