--- Comment #171 from David Cook <dcook at prosentient.com.au> ---
As the local pedant in the Koha community, I'm with Liz on this one.

While we shouldn't be adding anything to the C4 namespace, I think perhaps an
exception should be made for this particular patch set, as the feature is
rather important in modernizing Koha.

Out in the world, there's pretty much no service where you can't reset your own
password. Yet, you can't do it in Koha. Surely this frustrates users and puts a
burden on librarians. It's an aspect of the modern web experience which Koha
fails at.

This patch set has been a long time coming. While it should be fairly easy to
do a search and replace through the patches, mistakes do happen, and we'd
probably need to re-test all the patches again to make sure that nothing was
missed. It seems like it's already been tested to the Nth degree, so perhaps a
pass should be made this one time.

I suppose it would qualify as technical debt, and I hate technical debt. But
this does seem to be an extraordinary case. If it were anything but a password
reset, I'd say change the namespace. But this is such a missing piece of
functionality in Koha, that I think the faster we get it in the better. 

Of course, I defer to the QA team and the RM. But just adding that perspective
to the comments.
