I read through those comments again, and the questions where not addressing
stability issues but feature requests and refactoring suggestions. Probably one
of the reasons this has taken so long is that instead of concentrating on
minimal viable functionality there are continuous suggestions for new features
and improvements. Some of which are actually pretty complicated to implement
(like user feedback). As I said we have been running this in production for
years, and it more or less covers our needs (as pretty decently sized
university library with 200+ employees.

I did forget about one thing though, that actually is a show-stopper, and that
is if this bug is merged without the fix in bug 25539, this will trigger a bug
with this current patch. I discovered that bug 25539 was set as depending on
this bug when it should have been the other way around which I now fixed.

The reason everything works for us is that we use the fix in bug 25539. We also
have large and unruly patch for bulkmarcimport.pl (a which I believe is now
deactivated in the current iteration of this patch) so that also source works.
Can't remember at the top of my head what the issues in bulkmarcimport.pl was
that caused us to disable it, but the fix in bug 25539 will not solve this
issue I think (but is still needed to avoid the bug causing rules to be ignored
on updates. So I think focusing on sorting out the issue addressed in bug
25539, and possibly address the problems with bulkmarcimport.pl would be
reasonable thing to prioritize.
