I really didn't want to get into this discussion, but I never thought it
would get this far.  I will also preface by saying I haven't read all of the
comments and notes regarding this discussion (really who wants to read posts
that are pages long).  I will start with a music "fact" provided by Alan
Cross: There are 3000 new releases every week for Canada only.  That means
many many more worldwide, part of the best feature of MusicBrainz is that we
are able to cast a very wide net to get as many releases as we can. 

By labeling a person's add release as "unvoted" or "unverified", generally
giving their edits a lower weight or lower status based on something they
have no control over, seems to be a very large discouragement to any new or
casual user.  I think musicbrainz should be open and welcoming to these
users and not the other way around.

Consider that I will V and RFV
