Bug 19605 is updating the available_backends sub in Illrequest/Config.pm -
among other things. That sub is designed to be the single source of truth for
installed backends in a system, and that should be the case before and after
bug 19605.

This would be ideal, I agree. Although looking at the code it seems it would be
possible to have this working without each backend having to implement the
update itself (which would be preferable I think).

See bug 18203 (pushed to master). It's not the same as the ILLOpacbackends sys
pref, but I believe it should help in satisfying the following requirement:
"Libraries that do not allow ordering of ILL from the OPAC must be able to hide
this feature."
At least on a per borrower category basis.
