AppDB and Distributions

[André Hentschel]

Hi,
It's getting more and more strange in our AppDB.
If a user is running Ubuntu 9.04, he has 14 options which distribution 
called Ubuntu 9.04 to choose.
14?
There only should be two, the 32-Bit and the 64-Bit Version.
If we don't stop that we get more and more chaos in our DB.
So why this mess? I guess the users choose one and then see a way deeper 
some fields called "Distribution Name:" and "Distribution URL:", but 
they don't read the headline "New Distribution".
Maybe we should do something like "IF (choosen distribution) THEN (dont 
allow to make new one)".
Or maybe hide the "New Distribution"-Fields a bit more or make the "New" 
bigger.
Beside clones like "Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty x86_64" and "Ubuntu 9.04 "Jaunty" 
x86_64 (+ variants like Kubuntu)" there are also old Alphas which should 
be removed, same thing for other Versions.
