--- Comment #19 from Esther Melander <estherm at sodaspringsid.com> ---
I agree with Heather.

I recently tried merging a 155 (genre) with a 150 (topical). I wanted the
corresponding 655 to survive and the 650's changed to 655 with the correct
link. The merge appeared to fail as both merge candidates disappeared - 
meaning I can't find them in the database.

>From a workflow perspective this kind of a merge, with warning, is an ideal way
to clean up authorities.

As a workaround, which I have not tested, I would need to do a batch bib change
to the authority records linked with the incorrect 650 to the correct 655 and
then go back and delete the 150 authority. This is much more work, in my
opinion.
