I actually think the opposite: Until we can indicate which is by which
name when they're on the same page, it's better to keep them separate.

Untangling which release has which name from all those compilations
alone, is going to be a nightmare for some of these artists.  If we
kept them separate now, but AR'ed, users could still follow the trail,
albeit not as easily as if they were all on one page, and we aren't
setting up yet another pile of rather tedious work once NGS is
available.
