Well, to be clear (and like I said in the edit dialog) the
ClassicalStyleGuide has *never* allowed Classical releases to be filed
under performers - it says that the artist should be the composer.  The
new guideline creates a limited exception to this and also explicitly says
that it is not making a wider exception.

If anyone wants to participate in the list and argue for a wider exception
(and thus an even newer rule) they are free to do it!  But there is
currently no reason to roll back what we just did.

Personally, I think an automod such as ojnkpjg should have more respect
for the work that is done on the list, and I think drumming up more no
votes on the IRC (rather than bringing his beef here) is inappropriate
behavior.
