So you believe that a set inventory should contain only the parts required to
construct the set per instructions and anything else included in the box should
be considered an extra? I'm not asking to argue, but just to understand
your position.
And how does your vision align with that significant fraction of sets which included
no building instructions? How would we address those sets without rules and
exceptions, to which you're mildly allergic?
If the site has removed certain information, such as what is required to build
the set, it has added other information: exactly what comes in a new box.
Again with the horses, it is possible to have an inventory both ways. Just needs
additional inventory functionality that doesn't rely so heavily on "sections."
And yes, I'm aware that you disagree with that. But since we've trotted
out our horses, I'm gonna abuse mine a little, too.

The definition of counterparts:
Counterparts - Parts which are either assembled from or permanently
changed from parts in the Regular Items section during the process of building
a set according to the instructions. Examples include parts with stickers applied
and cut pneumatic hoses. In the absence of instructions, exceptions may be made.
Refer to Additional Information About Counterparts for further details.
Parts on sprues are addressed in the Additional Information About Regular Items
section here:

Another chance to flog this horse.
Some of these plumes are quite expensive: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?P=4502a&colorID=11
The misguided policy that says all parts on sprues are now regular items means
that many of these plumes that were formerly considered "extras" and therefore
not required to be included in a "complete" set are now required per the Bricklink
policies.
$15-$20 is a significant difference in value.
And these changes have resulted in several listings like the ones below, which
were listed correctly as "complete" under the old policy, but which are now incorrect.
One wonders how many of the "complete" sets that do not have any comments also
do not include the former "extras."
This set sells used, complete, for around the same price as one of the small
black plumes alone.
This policy has removed historical information from the site (the information
about which parts are needed to build the set according to the instructions)
and has created the potential for real confusion and unhappiness between buyers
and sellers (Where's the black plume that Bricklink says should be included?).
It is a bad policy.

| At the moment the part "4.5V Whistle Thin with Yellow Base" is not connected
to a single set in the bricklink catalog.
I now found this whistle for the second time in a set 138 that consists out of
the original parts.
This whistle produces a low pitched tone that is technically not compatible with
the electronic control block of set 118. For that reason I think it is safe
to say that the "4.5V Whistle thin with Yellow Base" Belongs to set 138.
Now please don't ask for proof with a sealed set. A sealed set 138 is a very
rare thing on its own. A sealed set 138 with this rare whistle in it might be
non existent

* Change 1 Part {Medium Dark Flesh to Flesh} FTFpb238c01 Torso Mini Doll Friends Dark Pink Swimsuit Top with Bright Light Yellow and Black Riffle Pattern, Medium Dark Flesh Arms with Hands
Comments from Submitter:
The color for this part is wrong in the catalog. It is 'flesh' not 'Medium Dark Flesh'.
