I would be okay with this given examples. Guideline pages are most effective with examples (useless without examples, really), so if I understand right: -A release that is 1 disc in a jewel case, inside a slipcase, should have the packaging type "Jewel Case" -A release that is 2 discs in separate jewel cases, bound together in a slipcase, should have the packaging type "Slipcase" (the first example was not defined in your initial message, then was brought up by Simon but not clearly addressed (in my opinion), hence confusion on my end.) Additional thoughts: I wonder if now is the time to file an RFC for adding medium-level packaging? (If so, the 1st example would be void.) My preliminary thoughts on this would be to have a "plus" button next to package type as with labels and artist credits for packaging, but the plus would be to add "subtypes", rather than equal types. Somewhere (order could be an issue here) allow each sub-packaging type to be associated with mediums.
