[Data-modeling] /food/beer_container and /food/beer_packaging_style

[Iain Sproat]

As they are currently populated, they seem synonymous and so your suggestion
is OK.
However, I think beer_packaging_style might be better populated with topics
related to different labels on a beer_container.  e.g. bottles of Budweiser
have had different labels over the years (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=4851#Bottle).  Commemorative
containers may also have seperate topics and would best be typed as
beer_packaging_style.

Also bottles of Grolsch can come in different sizes (450ml, 467ml, 250ml or
330ml depending on the market
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grolsch#Bottle_design).

I'm not personally aware of any topics which could be currently typed as
beer_packaging_style as per the above description, and so it may still be
justified to delete beer_packaging_style.
