Yes, if Bibframe is devised, used widely, and makes adequate provisions for converting MARC records using RDA (and not incidentally AACR2 & 1). Until then we would do well to continue using the 006/007/008 combos as well as any other new, less granular, fields. RDA by itself is not going to make anything available as linked data.

RDA provides that same description written out in actual words and made available as linked data<http://rdvocab.info/> so that description can viewed and used in schemas, structures, and displays that aren't MARC or MARC-dependent.
