[DCRM-L] DCRM and RDA

MARC21 has this example:
Leader/18 	i
040 	##$aDLC$cDLC$erda$edcrmb
http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd040.html

Is this how LC is coding records created according to LCPS 0.2? (DCRM
rules + RDA access points)?

It seems like such a strange mix of standards ... the $e rda would
only apply to the access points and the $e dcrmb would apply to the
rest of the record.

Does it mean we don't need to worry about "RDA-izing" the DCRM rules?
We can just keep creating DCRM records, code them as above, and update
the access points to new forms as needed? And even though LC is making
the cut-off at 1801, we don't necessarily have to follow suit?
