Yes, this is something we're having discussions about now. Our preference is not to abridge (either in transcription or in access points) but it does add to authority work (we are NACO contributors). Also, whatever we decide as our local policy, we also need to figure out whether we would edit/amend downloaded records to follow that if they did abridge. This is a big issue, especially given the volume of extra checking and editing this might involve. The same question (about whether we want to edit incoming records to match local policy decisions even if they are otherwise perfectly acceptable records meeting RDA core requirements) is a much broader issue we haven't yet settled.
