The Case Types with Images thread has recently been updated to include this photo:
[Image removed at Dan's request.]
The case type 'box set' has been renamed 'slip case' in the next version of DVD Profiler. (If you submit a profile right now with a case type of 'box set', you will instead see 'slip case' in the online comparison.)

The 3 DVDs in the photo above are single film releases. Near Dark and Amélie are digipacks inside slip cases and are currently in the database as digipaks. Reds is a keep case inside a slip case and is currently in the database as a keep case. All 3 of these will need to be changed to 'slip case' in the database due to this change in the Case Types thread.

Question: Do you support this change?

[The reason for a new poll on the subject is that it's been said that the results of the other polls would be different if the poll were worded differently.]

The slip case cover type is intended to be used when it is the only case for the profile, as in for a box set.  If there is only one inner case, use the inner case type.

Thank you, thank you, a thousand times, thank you.  That is exactly what we were asking for.

Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

Thank God, that is sorted out!!!
However, this brings up another question: a single Keepcase containing 4 movies with a slipcase around it. What's the casetype for the parent ?
It looks to me that this would ALSO be a keepcase. The parent profile also has 2 cases: the slipcase and the 4-disk-digipak. It also matches your 2nd sentence: there is only one inner case: the 4-disk-keepcase.
BTW, this is also what 80% of the voters think in the single-Digipak-inside-slipcase and single-Keepcase-inside-slipcase think.

It already is in locality Netherlands . In fact, all boxes I have seem to already be following this rule.
But I agree with you that this should be made explicit in the Rules, to get this straight once and for all. BTW, the wording could be a bit better too: if the slipcase contains multiple cases, use Slipcase, otherwise use the case inside the slipcase.

Based on his first sentence, it sounds like it would be Slip case for the parent and Keep case for the child profiles.  Note he said when it is the only case for the profile.  With 4 movies, you get 5 profiles.  One for the Slip Case and 4 for the Keep Case.

That is, if you ignore the second sentence.

Take your pick, I guess.
