| What was the point of merging 44302 and 54657? The other hinge bricks/plates?
All of the element numbers are gone and now it’s going to be harder to find the
specific variant.
This catalog project was a rushed and stupid idea.
Merging parts did not move element numbers over because the merging process doesn’t
come with that built into it. Was that something that site admin considered before
this bright idea? Nope. Why bother ensuring a smooth transition when you can
carry on without a plan in mind? After all, that seems to be par for site administration.
Listening to community complaints? A waste of time.
Improving site functionality? A bigger waste of time.
Considering that a project of this scale would undermine years of progress and
effort from your catalog administrators and community members? An even bigger
waste of time.
Then, catalog administrators and community members have to clean the mess up.
