Answer 1

My take on this is that it might be useful to write an authoritative version of this question, make it community wiki, and perhaps link to older questions/close in favor of the canonical one — at which point interested parties could maybe iterate more cooperatively. It definitely diffuses the answering-power of the community if the “same” problem is repeated so frequently.

Answer 2

I concur with @JosephWeissman on this, especially seeing that as far as I am aware, you cannot actually merge questions in the sense you are talking about. Writing an authoritative question and answer set with links into the questions you are talking about, will merge the questions you raise into one question, and provide a way to efficiently link future same questions as duplicates.
