 The [http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/CoverRelationshipType
 CoverRelationshipType] isn't suitable for use with ClassicalMusic tracks,
 even for use with the Parody attribute.   The problem is that too many
 classical tracks are "covers", the relationship is really with
 MusicalWorks not with the performance in the Track or Release, and there
 "first released" principle doesn't apply to compositions dating back to
 before recorded sound.   Also, the CoverRelationshipType doesn't say that
 the target of a cover is always the first-released Track or Release, but
 that is our practice.

 Change that wiki page to say these two things.

 '''Proposal''': [http://lists.musicbrainz.org/pipermail/musicbrainz-
 style/2008-February/005825.html mb-style 'RFV: add "parody" attribute to
 Cover AR type'] by Jim DeLaHunt on Thu Feb 7 03:02:35 UTC 2008.
