 Please remove the auto pick release country feature from preference and
 all. After it was allowed to add a release event without dates, this
 feature is resulting in more and more invallid data by accident. When
 adding or altering a release, the country is selected automatically.
 People don't notice this. I see more and more releases being added with
 invallid release countries due to this issue.

 This feature doesn't add that much value to the system anyway. Forcing
 people to always specifically select a country when they want to add a
 release event also makes people think baout the choice a bit more.
