--- Comment #15 from Tomás Cohen Arazi <tomascohen at gmail.com> ---
I see why y'all feel this should be completely arbitrary values: because it is
only used for display purposes.

The catch is this options:

* phone
* phonepro
* mobile
* email
* emailpro
* fax

refer to real `borrowers.*` columns, so my fear is at some point someone will
want to tie the *selected prefered contact method* value on that column, to a
real behavior/function in Koha.

So, thinking in advance, I feel like the current options should be presented a
system-defined, which can also be disabled, and then we allow users to define
their own.

'Do not contact' should be a default system option (value NULL).

One drawback for this particular implementation is the contact methods are
translatable (templates) right now. Moving them to the AV table will make them
not-translatable or have every non-english install need to manually tweak the
introduced AVs.
