As many others have said previously, this is not a good idea. This is erasing
LEGO's history and the hard work of many fans who have documented the history
of these different part variations throughout the years.
Not only is it erasing history, many buyers of vintage sets want period-accurate
variations of a piece, and some variations have differences that affect their
use, such as the underside differences of 2x2 round tiles, 1x2 jumpers, and 2x2x2
slopes, as well as grooved vs ungrooved tiles.

Myself and many others will be looking into alternative marketplaces (such as
Brickowl) if Bricklink goes through with this change, as it is completely unnecessary
and detrimental to the preservation of parts' history and to the user experience.
