Not sure. At this point I don’t know of any situation where we need integer values with non-integer constraints. This is also based on the observation that in 3.8M claims of 99 different quantity properties with integer constraint deployed, the situation of non-integer bounds does not occur. If anyone can come up with such an example where bounds are properly used, it would be great and I would immediately re-evaluate my position. If not, I think we need only one constraint with integer requirement for both amount and lowerBound/upperBound.

Maybe it is worth to mention that as a physicist I have a rather scientific expectation about which purpose bounds should serve. However, the entire bounds concept is a scientific one, thus I think it is appropriate to use it scientifically in Wikidata as well.

The constraint system has already become more and more complex, and even as an editor who constantly works with it, I find it hard to keep up with all the new possibilities. Let’s keep things simple, as long as there is no reason to add another constraint or option.
