I'm a little dubious of this latest proposal. I tend to run like hell from "list of" pages which are not automated in some way, and automation is only possible with categories or SMW.

So since a category is virtually required any way, why would a list page with an awkward title that implies, "Hey, this is the official name of something," be preferable to just a category page? Everything we could possibly mention on the page would surely have its own page, so why not just slap these 50th anniversary releases into their own category and call it a day?

If people wanted to find all the 50th anniversary releases, all they'd have to do is click on category:50th anniversary releases.
