I would not suggest using GMD. The addition of GMD is an extra work for catalogers. It is also a problem for staff training, struggling between two cataloging rules.
OCLC policy states that they keep GMD for three years. It seems to be a transition time. GMD apparently is not under maintenance and update. One day you may have to get rid of them.
