Rules that follow from bad practices are bad rules.
Well then we need to change them into good practices. But you
cannot just create a rule to forbid transliterations and
translations, that won't work.
Whether the current practices are good or not and how to change
them is one topic that surely needs to be addressed and that needs
long-term solutions.
But that's not what this thread is about. This thread is about
providing means that will help to transform the current solution
into a long-term solution later. And it's not even hard to
implement. I think this can't be bad.
Fair enough, I can appreciate that. What rules to we adopt for having
people attach PUIDs/TRMs/discids to these duplicate releases?
