Size normalization to standardize quantity information
Size normalization provides customers with consistent product quantity information across all search and detail pages, plus a defect-free buying experience. The improved shopping experience makes it easier for customers to compare products before buying.
Normalization rules automatically extract data from catalog attributes such as unit count, unit count type and the number of items, and then construct the size into a standard format for customers.
To change the size value, you need to update the following attributes under Managed inventory edit: unit count, unit count type, number of items, incontinence protector size, and total servings per container.
For more information, go to Size normalization FAQ.

“This effectively dismantles any variation with a Size relationship, unless you sell standardized clothing. We understand Size value was created to suit a variety of product types. This is evidenced by our authorized relationships within these categories. However, in an effort to delight our customers, the decision to damage our catalog is final. Our expectation that every seller is capable of back-tracking to correct the damage is well-reasoned.”

This is going to destroy so many variations.
A variation page that shows “adult size” and “kid size” for face masks will now change to “1 count (pack of 1)” and fragment half the children ASIN’s into their own pages.

Our issue:
Many listings have “unit count, unit count type” contributions made by the brand owners that are not accepted by Amazon and therefore suppressed.
As third party sellers these listings are are eternally suppressed because there are no consequences for brand registered accounts for contributing invalid contributions to ASIN.
