For those who want to catch up on the old discussion, this is probably a 
good starting point:
http://lists.musicbrainz.org/pipermail/musicbrainz-style/2008-March/006655.html

That was a proposal from Brian to change the guideline.
It was already changed after a lot of heavy discussion earlier.
Still we couldn't quite reach an agreement,
even though in the end everybody seemed to agree more or less what to 
add, and what not to add.

It seemed to me that concerning the Pink Floyd example (also the "Shine 
On" boxset) there was an agreement that it should be entered.
