Joe Atzberger explains that Koha SIP2 ILS abstraction layer is more virtual
than real, for now, but that it would be desirable to maintain it and even
improve it in order to manage a path for the future to/from a reconciliation
with Evergreen SIP Server. Correct me, Joe, if I misunderstood you.

In this perspective, I agree with you that we could decide that all dates
managed by Sip modules could be with advantage a DateTime object. Of great
interest elsewhere in Koha also... The difficulty is to change that without
breaking something somewhere. Test suit is not so usable. Or I confess I don't
know how to use it. And we lack a Self Check emulator to validated such
modification. We all do testing with different devices and not very
consistently...
