use case:
multiple workflows for promotion of content
promote content to homepage
promote content to non-homepage
promote content to social network

these are not mutually exclusive workflows
each might have a slightly different workflow based on approval mechanism/payment settlement
I would love to be able to add the various workflows to the node

it would be upto the author to determine if the various workflows are mutually exclusive or not

In looking at the code, it is clear that allowing multiple workflows is a major effort. I believe jvandyk would probably agree.

I just looked at the code to see about patching it and agree that it would be a monumental task :/ It might almost be easier to write everything from scratch with the multiple-workflow model in mind while building. I'm bummed.

Agreed. Plus add in entities, and you are, yes, pretty much starting over again.

This would be possible if Workflow were a 'true' Field API field, as proposed in #2019345: Create a 'Workflow Field' with Widget, Formatter, Fieldtype
