Thank you Katrin, I agree. 

Also, to fix issue #1 that you describe I wonder if it would be best to do the
following:

1. Upstream the patch reverting 29815
2. Then create a separate bug report to discuss whether the community prefers a
context-specific pre-filling of the dateaccessioned or a hint.

By proceeding with upstreaming the reversion at least we would fix the urgent
bug without getting bogged down in the discussion. 

What do you think?
