--- Comment #25 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer at bsz-bw.de> ---
I think we need to make sure to cause no data loss for libraries that have
changed the mappings. Maybe we should concentrate on the permanent location
first with this patch and then concentrate on the paidfor in another patch
series.

Because... this paidfor is a bit of a mess:

I researched a bit and until Fri, 18 Jul 2008:
http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=commit;h=bc408475f8afb0df633908b2bc537d6f4ecb90ba
we delivered the standard frameworks with the nonpublic note mapped to paidfor.
As there was never an update to change this, this would still be the case for
older installations. I know the mapping exists in some of our installations
that date back to 3.2.

Also, it looks like the mapping still exists in the _current_ MARC21 FA
frameworks (de-DE, en, es-ES, it-IT, nb-NO) and some UNIMARC frameworks. So the
mappings are inconsistent right now.

Bug 4222 tried to introduce a new database column for the nonpublic note, but
sadly it's currently stuck in Failed QA because of some remaining problems with
the last patch.
