Is there a feature in place to acknowledge having 2 Commanders in EDH?
All i know is that yeaGo is already working out something for this. We will have to wait and see.

You should only do it if every one at the table is, or at least that is what I believe. It gives you one less card in your deck and a second creature that you can almost always have access to. Which can give you an advantage.
Just how I see it. Of course there are groups that will be okay with it.

Uhm... It's totally legal with the new Partner ability (Tymna the Weaver). It's in the new commander set...

MrDilliams with the new Partner mechanic in the Commander 2016 decks you can now legally have 2 commanders (as long as both commanders have the Partner mechanic) rather than 1
EDIT: I.e. Tymna the Weaver, Kraum, Ludevic's Opus

I understand that, I'm just saying that if 3 people are playing a single non-partner commander and one person is running two partner commanders they may have a slight advantage. Now whether that is true is yet to be seen as the product isn't out yet. But if some one brings a deck based around two commanders then I would make it so my deck had two.

MrDilliams Usually a non-partner commander will be stronger than the Partnered commanders, so that kind of makes it fair IMO. Also 2 cards that when they get wiped you'll have to cast both, and pay (2) more each time (2 commander's taxed (2) each time) than 1 commander with just (2) extra each time. :)

We've seen every card that has partner on it, and it's pretty clear they're relatively weaker because of it. Obviously I haven't had a chance to actually use them yet, but at a glance, it almost seems like the player running a pair of Partner commanders will be the one at a disadvantage, because while they have access to two different commanders, they both suck by comparison to a regular commander. Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix is probably the strongest among them. and she's really situational/build-around.
Obviously this is just an opinion at a glance, we'll have to see how it plays out, but every time a Partner commander was spoiled my reaction was "meh".

Not at the moment. The cards were just spoiled a couple days ago and implementation takes time. There will probably, if not definitely, be an announcement if and when this ever happens.
