I still need to have a list with the eventual numbers of everything (to make sure that our BL keeps working in sync with our other venues). What does "merged" here exactly mean - that these entries listed here are the entries that will disappear? Confused because in some cases I see only one entry listed (4079b Minifigure, Utensil Seat / Chair 2 x 2 with Center Sprue Mark), but in some cases two (hinge with 7 teeth, hinge with 9 teeth are both listed). Good question… but I don’t know the answer. (And I would like to know too because my personal inventory can automatically survive a change of ID or a change of description but not both.)    2. Is this official, It’s been written by Russell (his name is at the bottom).    is it confirmed that this list is complete? I don’t konw.    Asking because last time we were "given a month" it wasn't actually a month for us to adapt, but a month in which BL itself was making up its mind and kept making some changes... I don't want to work through this list only to have to do it again in 2 weeks. Indeed.  “It’s a decade-old problem.  In 2 weeks we break everything!” Hmmm and also, I see that the proposed change of removing the "with groove" entries is not in this list, so it seems incomplete. This is likely going to result in us having to shut down the business for one or two days and figure out what the damage is, I guess. As for the groove, I'm curious if that would also affect:   *  92593 Plate, Modified 1 x 4 with 2 Studs without Groove Parts: Plate, Modified   *  41740 Plate, Modified 1 x 4 with 2 Studs with Groove Parts: Plate, Modified The old one is still plenty in stock everywhere. I'd hate to throw them all together in one bag... As a seller I don't mind it, but I mean... if you make a building with a layer of these, wouldn't it be kinda ugly if some of them have a groove and some don't
