  I think there is still value in providing bag count. It's probably not realistic
to have variants based on production date and location, so, in cases where multiple
accurate bag counts exist, a number range with a disclaimer about varying bag
count could be used instead of a fixed number.

Some possible examples of value display:
"26 bags, numbered 1-26"
"4 bags, unnumbered"
"4-5 bags, unnumbered"

I was bought an old rare set as a gift and the gifter went through quite some
hoops to research bag count since the seller did not know the set well enough
to confirm it was accurate; only provide the actual bag count from the box. Having
this information documented would be helpful even if the helpfulness varies by
age of set.

Agreed, easier, more realistic, and still useful info!

About "cataloging" each bag, I'm sure another website - or rebrickable
or like - could try to get this information (ideally with a picture of each bag!),
but it'd be a HUGE implementation here and 95% of people wouldn't care.

Yeah, I have backed off on that. I used to want it. I'd still like it,
but I understand it wouldn't be worth the trouble.
