[Data-modeling] Conductors: performance role or something more?

When Jeff created the Opera domain, he created a Conductor type to 
represent the conductor of an operatic production.

When I created the Music domain, I treated conductor as a performance 
role within a group, no different than the third violinist.

Now we have a Conductor with only the Operas Conducted property, which 
makes it look weird when talking about orchestra conductors.  We also 
have a Performance Role that various people hold within Musical Groups.

We should reconcile this one way or the other.  Opinions about which way 
is preferable?  Please make your responses in that Music Modeling 
Interest Group thread so that there will be an easily visible record for 
future Freebase users.

Thanks,
Chris
