I think that it is safe to say that most of us are sitting and waiting for our vendors to do something! I know that while many have said that the 336/337/338 is for the computer and are not supposed to display. Because we do have RDA records coming in through our natural process these days, I am not willing to suppress the 336/7/8 from the public display yet, because we do not have something to replace the GMD at this point. Once there is a way for the user to be able to discern what the record is representing, then I'll be happy to suppress the display ... but not until then.
