If we would have a "USE" function, like in thesauri, we could in the future indicate:

scc USE: srp
NOTE: until 2008 scc in bibliographic usage has been equivalent to srb in terminological usage. as from 2008 users are recommended to use srb for both purposes. Nevertheless users better make sure that their system can  accept scc as equivalent e.g. in data exchange.

Would this not be a practical solution?

Best regards
Christian
