I had always hoped to reopen when my elderly parent caregiver roll had ended.
I feel like it's just not worth the bother to merge or update all these parts
with "notes" of variants. That's quite ridiculous. I don't know
what the push is, but this is certainly pushing me to the point of - is it worth
my time?
This is a very bad, generic move - the catalog was awesome, now no more.
Really. I'm not sure what to do to keep my inventory current now.
Apparently, I've missed a lot.

I decided to go ahead and enter comments for the listed variants in my inventory.
It was not too painful a process. I simply followed the instructions for this
given in the initial FAQ. (It is the process wherein you create a wanted list,
and then see which variant parts are in your store) I will add that I only did
this for my current existing stock. I will not be carrying the process forward
for new stock. I'm treating this is sort of an experiment, just to see if
it makes any difference.
However, having done this, I don't know that I would recommend you do the
same, unless you are very devoted to distinguishing the variants, or believe
that your buyers are discriminating enough to care about the comments and variant
distinctions.
Bricklink officially advises you that it is not worth your time. You can decide
to provide comments distinguishing none, some, or all of the variants in your
stock - it is very unlikely to make a difference to the vast majority of buyers.
I hope this helps.
