My idea is that 'Artists' would include _all_ artists. Unless there's
some good reason not to include album artists in that list. Maybe
there's some situation of how someone wants to organize classical music
or tribute albums that would be the reason, and I'd like to hear about
it and discuss it.

That's not a rabbit hole. It's the very reason we have discussions like
this. If the reasoning is sound, then it becomes more compelling to the
developers to implement the idea.

You bring up having a 'Browse Compilations' mode, which is something
Phil has always wanted. I contend that there's no reason to have this,
because it's identical to Browse Artists > Various Artists. Always
placing the VA pseudo-artist first in the artist list makes getting into
the compilation list trivial. The VA artist would, by definition, have
an ALBUMARTIST role in the database, so in my proposed browse structure,
it would appear first in both browse lists.
