We could support allowing multiple commands for a policy and would just
need to adjust the checks to make sure that the policy definition makes
sense, but that's all new-feature type of work which would be for 9.6
and not a bug in the current implementation. I'm certainly not against
doing that, but it doesn't seem like a terribly high priority.

Thanks!
