I getting ready to reroof my house, to standing seam metal. I have two toilets, 4 sinks, 2 showers, one washer. I have an accessible attic. Can I plumb all the current vents that pierce the current roof, into one single larger vent?
Purpose being to clean up roof clutter, move the main vent to back yard side of the roof, and reduce potential future leak sources?
Cost is not an object, but not sure if they will interact adversely, or long runs are a problem, or something else?

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

The short answer is probably yes this is allowed, but check your local codes.
The final vent size will then be driven by your sewer main size. Again check your local codes.
Also be sure the vent laterals are sloped correctly back to the house so condensation does not pool.

My house was built in 1983 and has only 1 DWV pipe exiting the roof. All the vent pipes from 3 baths and 1 kitchen are 2 inch and are tee'd into 1 3 inch stack vent. But I live 6 miles outside the city and county builder codes may have been different back then.
YMMV.
