MERGE INTO OLDEST MBID

Each entity has a primary public MBID and several secondary hidden MBID.

Why keeping oldest MBID?

It’s about the third party stuff (web sites, files, user scripts) that might have been more numerous to store the older MBID. Some of those will loose some functionality (like not being able to display related info it it looks for the new MBID in its database but they were more likely to have stored it with the older MBID).
