While I agree that remixes in the classic sense are usually (always?) the
same work, I won't accept a wording that says simply "all remixes should be
merged into the original work". A lot of things called "remix" involve a
completely new music or new lyrics, especially in hip-hop. Also, I'd leave
them separate if they have different ISWCs, but that's normally not the
case for classic-sense remixes :)  But yeah, if the wording is made in a
way that handles these cases, I think a new "what defines an unique work"
is due.
