--- Comment #9 from Kyle M Hall <kyle at bywatersolutions.com> ---
I think this bug needs some exposition. We have libraries that are finding it
difficult to generate reports for serials for the following reasons:
1) Parsing serialseq to get issue/vol/no/whatever data is difficult
2) Librarians put incorrectly formatted dates in the date fields
3) There is no proper way to store the published date of the last issue of a
bound volume.

Parts 1 through 4 are the only critical patches to resolve these issue. Parts
5-7 are just something I thought would be a nice way to advance the serials
module. In the future, it may be possible to stop using serialseq and use the
new fields in serial and subscription to display that data.
