right! i agree with this and similar sentiments. if we want to index
everything seperately, then it seems trite to single out boxsets, when
a true 'index everything' system would involve so much more. i really
think it is essential we first have a 'release groups' or similar
system to start wholesale separating of boxsets/individual issues.

if an editor has good reason for adding a boxset seperately then
that's cool. eg, i doubt these 160CD sets are available separately
*entirely*. once one is only available in the set than you are well
within your rights to add the whole set, as they're needed for
context. see that classic example: prince "The HIts/The B sides".

BoxSetNameStyle and the 'alias' system of merging artists are some of
my 'favourite' features of MBz, and why i use it for tagging against
discogs data (which you can use in certain taggers).
