--- Comment #26 from Jacek Ablewicz <abl at biblos.pk.edu.pl> ---
Nice patch, quite usefull for our library particular needs as well..

Would it be possible to make this feature controllable by e.g. some system
preference (= disabled by default)? I have a feeling that chances for reaching
any agreement whenever such change would be "universally" good, or not good,
are close to nil; there are way too many different habits, approaches etc. in
various libraries regarding authority editing nad maintaining. But, I believe
that as long as this patch:

- does not by default introduce any changes to the existing behaviour,
- libraries willing to use it are made aware (e.g. by some kind of remark in
syspref description) that they should carefully review their existing authority
frameworks before enabling this feature, to prevent any possible "data loss" in
authority-controlled biblio fields,

all concerns indicated in previous comments will be sufficiently (?) addressed,
so it could hopefully get a promotion from "In Discussion" to "Needs Signoff"
;).
