Thank you Gil. In my opinion the *Role data model and the way OFBiz leverages it and the *Relationship data model are not ideal (some of the issues have been mentioned in the various threads referenced by Gil) but I don't feel that this specific enhancement is relevant enough to justify the risk of introducing new bugs, issues and regressions.
