We have converted our legacy Aggregation and Composition relationships to Associations with Association Kind set correctly.  As a consequence, it appears that the Arc Subtype (which applied only to Arc Type of "Aggregation") are no longer required.

In trying to clean up our Repository and queries which process it, can we remove the Arc Subtype for arcs (now) Associations and replace the query criterion of SubType="Weak" with DestIsAggregate="1" and SubType="Strong" with DestIsAggregate="2" respectively?  Note, for our repository, the SourceIsAggregate column is always "0".

TIA,
Paolo
