I agree MB should note somewhere the difference. But if we do, PUIDs will be
mixed between the two (since the PUIDs will be the same). So when recovering
the tags for a clean version, one could get the tags for the explicit
version. So if you say "I prefer to separate because of data exactness,
period", I can understand. But I want to be sure this is the only
consequence you see. Because if you hoped helping some kind of parental
censorship with this (before anyone starts yelling, I am not saying this
censorship should or should not exist) you are technically wrong. Worse,
separating the MB Releases will certainly be misleading.
