I totally agree with hpoort. The database needs to be kept as is, and changes made to the interface so buyers and sellers who do not care so much for some variants have a way of filtering their searches and auto-buys. Removing variants will eventually lead to sellers not bothering to describe the variant in their product descriptions and buyers who are looking for a specific variant will start to look at other marketplaces. In Catalog, hpoort writes:    As a database engineer, this is the worst idea ever. To dumb down your core database rather than solving it on the usage side. As suggested many times before, why don't you allow sellers to indicate which variants may have been mixed in a lot and allow buyers to specify which variants they care about.
