Thanks! I'm not sure we've any way around that. The connection won't be made
unless the feature is specifically enabled. Likewise, this data would never be
revealed in the opac unless some specifically map the column to a field. To
accidentally reveal the data would definitely require jumping through some
hoops, but we have no way to absolutely prevent such an occurrence. 

On the other hand I don't feel that this should be a blocker considering we
could do the exact same thing in other areas of Koha. Consider how trivial it
would be to create a patrons report and then mark it public? Just because
that's possible doesn't mean we stopped the public reports feature from making
it into Koha.

That being said, I'll defer to your judgement, but someone has to make a
decision. Either we go with choice A or choice B.
