As a platform, we have decided to take a hard look at some of the mold variants that we are currently asking you to recognize. For sellers, more variants means extra sorting and extra work while pulling orders, plus the issues that arise from variant misunderstandings.
For buyers, excess variants mean that it's harder to assemble a wanted list, find stores, and ultimately obtain the parts you are looking for.
I have put together a quick Help page to outline these proposed changes:

Notice the date on this is coming up quickly (Feb 1), so I'm not giving a lot of time for discussion. I'm aiming for about 1 week of discussion and then we'll give sellers 2 weeks to adjust the descriptions on affected items if they wish to retain the distinctions.
