Because that short-circuits the point of having a broad-based user contribution system -- that multiple individuals can each contribute a little bit, and everyone receives the benefits, rather than each individual having to do all of the work for themselves each time.

Thanks you. A decent explanation.

I sincerely hope this would be the result though (multiple individuals...) rather than a small group of dedicated contributors doing all the work and most users just sitting back and doing nothing.

From that perspective I'm perfectly happy with the current crew - because I simply cannot make myself leave out any of the crew; even if I have no personal interest in them (sound). So, if more crew are added that ups my 'workload'.

But, my personal feelings aside, I fully the change if it's what people want.

Instead of shoehorning in data because it fits the broad category.

True. The shoehorning is also a big part of why I don't contribute as many crew changes as I used to do.

I can't understand why on earth one would add the wardrobe supervisor  from a new film as costume designer. It's not even close to the same function. I can understand it when it comes to older movies where the only costume credit was wardrobe, but not for newer movies.

The same goes for a lot of the effects crew.

Well since I'm off planet, I contribute everything I can in the crew list.
