Long time ago I did a test conversion (which btw I did not reverted) and 
asked for comments/veto. At that time no one agreed. A longest debate and 
examples are on CSGD.

Release is here:

The problem that arises is here is to have a clear rule to say which 
performers deserves this: there are releases that are really clearly printed 
only to credit performers, mainly for opera. Thinking about it it seem quite 
easy to tell who and who don't but in fact we have to admit this could lead 
to "eternal flames".
