--- Comment #6 from Owen Leonard <oleonard at myacpl.org> ---
I think that this change either goes too far or doesn't go far enough.

I don't see the need for this change. I think it's clear in the context of
patron records what the word means. I also don't think this kind of global
terminology change should be made on the basis of one suggestion. I think we
need to get more opinions.

If consensus is reached, then the change should be made in a more comprehensive
way. The use of the word "expire" in reference to patron accounts is broader
than just labels. There are instances throughout the interface where
descriptions use variations:

"You can decide if this patron category is blocked from performing actions in
the OPAC if their card is expired"

"If your patron cards expire (based on your patron category settings)..."

"[ patron name ]'s account has expired..."

"...you cannot place holds because your library card has expired..."

Translators: Is there an internationalization issue here? In Koha's English
translation the term "expire" can refer to a patron account, a hold, a list
invitation, a news item, a self-checkout session, and a subscription.
