Digital releases: Merging? / Long country list? / Just [Worldwide]?

[jesus2099]

Hello I am posting a thought here about another reason why it seems better to simply mark DL albums as [worldwide].

Besides being not maintainable, those hundred country releases, make the release statistics odd:

Cover art adding and release matching

We can see the country statistics: https://musicbrainz.org/statistics/countries But little unfortunately, the digital albums with all countries are a little breaking those stats. The last country, French Southern Territories contains only those. There are discussions about these DL release countries. The stats page would tend to make me think those should only have [worldwide] release country.

I didn’t read the posts in this topic since May 2021, so, sorry if it has already been said.
