I think it is a mistake to strip out those relator codes. Instead you can choose not to include $4 and $e in your indexing rules if you want to avoid a split file. And I'm all for using the relator codes to indicate the relationship and to skip the statement of responsibility. The CONSER

do we feel it would be necessary to indicate that there are seven other names between Albright and Del Ponte, and another six between Del Ponte and Fischer? Since the RDA instruction is to record not transcribe* the s-o-r, I see no reason why we would need to add multiple summariz[ations of]

If we were expected to transcribe the statement of responsibility, not just record it, the use of the mark of omission would make perfect sense. Yet, the two Optional Omission instructions under 2.4.1.4 seem to suggest that mark of omission in S-o-Rs has been denigrated under RDA.
