Condition evaluation currently doesn't support @Repeatable. The first thing I found is ConditionEvaluator#shouldSkip calls !metadata.isAnnotated(Conditional.class.getName()) which returns true for some reason when it is invoked with a modified version of @Profile that is @Repeatable.
I am not entirely sold on the idea as, for instance, adding @Profile would probably be over the top considering the profile expression we've introduced in Spring Framework 5.1. It might be useful for others, though (support for repeatable @ConfigurationProperty is quite popular on the Spring Boot issue tracker).

As for the existing behavior, a repeatable annotation is technically a container annotation with nested conditions inside... and unless we specifically check for that through the corresponding AnnotatedElementUtis variant, our common meta-annotation check is only going to search the container annotation, not the nested ones.
