Actually thinking about this again...

Even if we don't delete the script, soon it won't work like it does today. Even
without deprecating it... the API is going to break and we are going to break
people's workflow quite badly.

As for the suddenness... I think it'll only break on a major version release
(although I could be wrong). We'll need to add big warnings on that release.

Unfortunately, since MarcEdit is closed source, we don't really know how it
interacts with Koha. We can offer Terry Reese assistance in updating MarcEdit
to match the changes to Koha, but he might not accept that offer. 

I will send him an email to gauge his willingness to make changes.
