I *very* strongly disagree with this. If compilation X should be moved
to Y can be questionable, but always add the correct AR. Cluttered
relationship lists can be easily fixed.
Remember that MB data are very often processed by software, which can't
know whether "Y compiled X", "Y DJ-mixed X", "Y remixed X" or "Y
performed X" just based on facts that it's called "Late Night Tales" and
Y is the album artist.
Of course ARs have to be added for Compiled-by, DJ-Mixed-by, etc.
relationships. But, when an artist is prominently listed on the cover
(whether it's the compiler, DJ-mixer, ...), the ReleaseArtist should
be set to that artist.
But the ARs are more important.
