[mb-style] RFC6-52a: Single From Release Relationship Type

[Nikki]

As far as I'm aware, the idea was that this would be added now and 
migrated to release groups in NGS. Are you proposing that we shouldn't 
add it until NGS?

Since releases don't have types in NGS and it end up being a release 
group relationship anyway, it should talk about release group types 
rather than release types.

Since it never got an answer, I'll quote what I said in previous thread:

> Using that link phrase, I still don't see why the remix attribute is
> necessary. Isn't a "remix EP" still a type of EP and a "remix single"
> still a type of single? The idea of the relationship, after all, is
> just to provide the link between the release groups, not to duplicate
> the release group type...

I'd also like to see some examples of when you expect it to be used.
