--- Comment #4 from Jesse Weaver <jweaver at bywatersolutions.com> ---
The issue here is that there can be a large number of patrons with a privacy of
2 ("Never") even if all of the following are true:

  * OPACPrivacy is off
  * All patron categories have a default privacy of Forever or Default

This can occur for three major reasons:

  * The patrons had their privacy settings changed when OPACPrivacy was
previously enabled, but it has since been disabled
  * The patrons were imported with a privacy of 2
  * A patron category had a default privacy setting of Never at the time the
patron was created (if the category's default privacy setting is later changed,
it does not affect the privacy of previously created patrons)

This isn't an edge case; we have a large number of libraries whose checkins
were silently failing after a bugfix upgrade due to one of the three scenarios
above.
