Yes, some institutions have decided to retain GMD because they use it to
aid identification in results sets returned by their catalogues.

Subject: RDA and 245 $h
Hi,
We've just received our first two RDA records for electronic books, one
record originating from a US university and one from Dawson.
Both records are correctly formatted wit 336-338 RDA fields but also
include a 245 $h.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Have some cataloguing agencies made a decision to retain the standard
AACR2 GMD in the 245 $h as well as the new 336-338 data?
Best wishes
Hannah
