The type /religion/religious_leadership_role contains something of a
mishmash of instances. On the one hand, it contains very general roles (e.g.
bishop, imam, chaplain, etc.); on the other hand, it contains specific
instances of some of these roles (e.g. Bishop of Norwich, Archbishop of
Canterbury, etc.). These are really not the same type of things. To address
this, we'd like to add a type, Religious Leadership Title (currently in
sprocketonline's base here:
<http://www.freebase.com/type/schema/base/religiousjurisdiction/religious_le
adership_title>. So the "Role" type would now hold only the general
instances (bishop), and link to specific "Title" instances of this role
(Bishop of Norwich). This would be very straightforward, except that, in
order to do this right, we need to change the expected type of one of the
properties ("role") on the "Religious Organization Leadership" type
(/religion/religious_organization_leadership).
Are there developers that have queries that would break if I update the
expected type of this property?
