--- Comment #41 from Martin Renvoize <martin.renvoize at ptfs-europe.com> ---
The more I think about this the more I dislike the idea.

Search Groups and Functional Groups may well need to be different.

If I'm understanding it correctly, the idea of Bug 15707 is to allow for
preferences (i.e. things that govern functionality including lending rules,
holding rules etc etc) to be shared and inherited down a hierarchical
institution structure.  As such, each entity should have one parent and only
one parent.. else inheritance gets super messy.

Searches may well want to apply over completely different groups and may well
want to overlap.  Think of a set of library branches spread across a large
area, you may well want to have search groups to allow searching of a group of
'immediate neighbours'; as such depending on which branch you're neighbours
will be different and thus one entity will likely need to be part of more than
one group.
