I agree on that. However, "there's no way in hell to get back the
information" is plain wrong. Unless, of course, we loose the moderation
history.
Nevertheless, my point is that we loose data all the time, not only in
this particular case. A line asking to remove most occurrences of (album
version)
has been in the style guidelines for a long time and has been quoted
many times in mod-notes. Consequently, many singles were added without
any occurrence of (album version), even when it was printed on the
cover. So even if we should ever agree to include (album version) on
singles if it is printed on the cover, we have already lost data, and
most likely will for some time until each moderator knows about the new
rule.
