[Koha-devel] Changing default koha mapping 440$a -> 490$a

[Robin Sheat]

In 2008, the 440 MARC field was obsoleted[0], and 490$a is the
equivalent. Default Koha installs (unless it was updated relatively
recently) map 'seriestitle' to 440$a. I'm planning to update this to 
490$a for a client's install, but was wondering:
a) is this likely to make things blow up in unexpected ways?, and
b) is this worth putting into the default Koha mapping so that new
installs have it set up correctly?

For obvious reasons of not messing with peoples' data, adding this as a
database update is probably a bad idea, but is there any issue with
having it as the new default?
