No, I talk about merging two nodes. What happens if two nodes carry
the same key but different values. I guess the standard merge is
prompting the conflict and expects manual decision (I don't use Josm
here so I cannot test right now). So if we use the same action on 500
duplicated nodes, it is possible that for some of them we have a merge
conflict, thus a prompt.

I will investigate this point. I'm sure other plugins have enough
permissions so I will check what makes the difference here.

Thanks,
