It might be, if it *did* result in data loss. The actual case is that it might
result in data loss, for some combinations of authority types linked to some
bib fields.

 I think the cause of the warning is merging something like a personal name to
a topical term, which would work fine for 600 to 650 but wouldn't be able to
convert a 100 or 700 or 800 because there aren't any x50 equivalents. Not sure,
since I've never needed to do that merge.

But I frequently need to merge 150 to 100, since the Library of Congress is in
the middle of a very long conversion of (Fictitious character) headings.
Removing the ability to do that despite a warning which doesn't apply to that
case would be a huge frustration.
