This has been discussed many times in almost all of our mailing lists
and AFAIK with no results. I think we need to make vocal type optional,
so that we can use ARs to say "Artist performed vocal on Track/Album".
I've already changed it on the test server. Here is an example:

How did you do this? I thought this was not possible. Did you hack on the
internals or is it possible to specify that a selection of multiple values
is optional in the regular RelType interface?
Can we please decide this soon?
"Need OK from Secretary"
IIRC there were poeple (Wolfsong?) arguing that this was not needed.
However, I see no reason why a more fine-grained description, that gives
you the ability to choose the genral group _or_ one of the specific
elements, should be harmful.
I will give you an OK under the following conditions:
- Go through the <http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/ChecklistForStyleChanges>
and answer these points:
What is the impact on existing data?
Conflicts with other Style Guidelines
Required Editor Time
Required Developer Time
Impact on Paying Clients
- Create a ticket. It is very simple: Management of StyleIssues must be
in the open, if only for my job to be taken on by someone else in three
months. So please use trac, I will too. The alternateive are obscure lists
on my PC that nobody will ever see.
- Wait 24 hours for objections. However, I will ignore objections that do
not come with a comprehensible argument that the change is really one for
the worse.
