While your edit note debate point has merit, I strongly disagree with "it's
obvious so we don't need to specify it". Given that logic quite a few of our
relationships are redundant and unnecessary.

For example, Hans Zimmer is a very well known film composer yet if you look
at releases that are credited to him you'll often see that they explicitly
state that Hans Zimmer composed the release - not only that but quite a few
also go beyond that and state which tracks he composed on.

If we have data we should be finding a way to enter that data into the
database (isn't that the whole point of relationships?) with annotations
only being a *last* resort.

i consider these cases to not be worth the edit note debates over
