| Instead of merging, why not bring back the "undetermined type" entries
for those who don't care about distinguishing variants? The 'parent id'
for the UT then a, b, etc for the variants.
If the goal is to streamline inventories, the UT can be listed in the inventory
with variants listed in the Alternate section.
When wanted lists have the UT listed, all variants should be returned as well
[this functionality would likely need to be built tho].
Added bonus - having "undetermined type" listed in the item description
would indicate that variants of the part exist. Anytime a new variant is identified,
"undetermined type" could be added to the now "parent" entry
and this would automatically CYA the seller who is unaware of (or doesn't
care to separate) the variant, while also allowing those who do care, the option
of now differentiating them.
