Kinda like how if you look at the search results for Fantastic Mr. Fox, Frances Ha, Breaking the Waves or Y tu mamá también, there are 2 separate links, one to the current Blu-ray only release, and the other to the initial Dual-Format releases that are now out-of-print.
I'm suggesting the same 2 links for all the Criterion releases that had initially come in the digipack with the slipcover. The 2nd link just has the Amazon price listing, and no mentions of an initial slipcover or initial digipack, just a keep case.

OK, gotcha. What you're suggesting is to make separate blu-ray release entries for the
second printings of Criterions. Of those first 4 examples you gave, only Bottle Rocket was released again, right? The next 4 you mentioned that had dual BD/DVD releases and now single BD releases have different UPC codes for the second printings.
I'm with you on having the database include all printings of releases, but I've been turned down by mods/admins when I've submitted some. I really wish this site was closer to Discogs policies and details because they have a very detailed yet understandable system. Whereas this site often allows bootlegs and "wish" releases to be added to the database, over multiple printings of legitimate Criterions?
Anyway, I believe this site's thinking is that they don't want multiple entries for releases that have only one UPC code. For example, they told me they no longer want 2 entries for the Vinegar Syndrome titles that have an exclusive with slipcover and a standard edition.
Maybe you'll have better luck than I did.
