Avoiding duplicate content in Magento's EAV model

Magento’s (1+2) EAV (Entity-Attribute-Value) database model allows too much redundant data. This leads to an unusual large database and strains errors when working with that data in the backend. Taking care of the shop content is for most merchants a pretty huge task. In this post I would like to propose an overall fix to this problem with backwards incompatible changes to the database structure.
