Right now it seems to have been used on a few classical releases where some
person writes about the music (and they're all the same relationships for
all tracks, too).

Liner notes are on a release though, not on every release the recording is
on. It makes no sense for us to claim a track in a compilation has liner
notes written by the guy who did them for the album (which is wrong).
Putting them on the release instead might be slightly less precise than
putting them on the specific track, but at least it's not lying :)

I also agree we need to tackle various other relationships that should

There are others that seem a little daft, but this one is the only one that
seems to go against our current schema :)
