At present the cast and crew listings are 2 separate listings and cross-linking is not yet possible.

So should we add YoB to 2 different people that appear separately in the 2 sections?

I personally think we should. I don't think it does any harm and it will come into use if and when cross-linking is added.

I've voted for adding if in either, as hopefully at some point cross-linking will become available.

I voted against it.  I'm not opposed to the idea, but BY is such a disaster now, I really don't want to see it get any worse.

As you pointed out, cast and crew do not mix.  With that in mind, I see no reason to add BYs to distinguish between the two.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

Cast & Crew are two separate and distinct databases. It is pointless to add BY to them as they will never link. Besides, as mdnitoil has said, the BY is messed up enough as it is.
