[mb-style] re: Should we change Classical Rules?

[Trong Trongersoll]

Yes! Yes! Yes! I never thought the classical rules
mades sense, but i'm the minority who feels that the
performer is more important than the composer. 
especially since a release can end up under various
artists if it has selections by a varity of composers,
even though it is performed by one Artist.

Also, it was my understanding that the classical
styleguide was an exception because there wasn't a
better way to handle it. Well, now there is a better
way, ARs, and the classical guide should be retired so
the we have consistency throughout the database. Of
course anyone who is used to the current setup may
object becasue it is easier for them to maintain the
status quo.
