It's a way of splitting real track listings from "virtual" ones (i.e.
unofficial translations and transliterations, etc.). When we have greater
control over what's shown on the artist page (artist page redesign) we'll
then be able to hide these, and just see the *real* discography.

Also, when we can merge track listings, virtual ones can be merged or
proposed for a merge automatically.
