Objet : Convergent IR Deposit Mandates vs. Divergent CR Deposit Mandates
 
[snip]

I have no formal survey evidence that authors don't mind depositing twice or
multiply instead of just once (but I have definitely heard a number of
complaints, particularly from long-standing Arxiv authors, against having to
do a second deposit in their own IRs; this has been sufficient in some cases
to discourage some universities from pursuing institutional deposit mandates
further, or has at least made it harder for them).

Could you be more specific and precise? If you have hard evidence, let us see it. If not, it just anecdotal hear-say.

I totally agree with Charles here.
