Should a remix album be in the same release group as the original album?

The idea of release groups is that the releases in there should be mostly equivalent. So, someone who’s not a hardcore collector will generally only need one of the releases in a release group.

For example: I would not consider these two equivalent (neither does Wikipedia FWIW) and I think the current two RGs option is better for them:

That said, your specific example is a bit trickier than strictly “album vs remix album”, so I’m not sure what’s the ideal option there.
