--- Comment #70 from Blou <philippe.blouin at inlibro.com> ---
Bouzid did not respond because I asked him not to, waiting for the user
(Marjorie) to comment.  Fixing bugs or architecture issues is one thing. 
Defending the usefulness of a feature is another, and a much bigger one in my
opinion.

If the value of the feature can't pass your smell test, I can't recommend that
the user throw good money after bad into the re-engineering of the feature,
indefinitely, to follow the latest architectural whims.  They coded this in
2010ish, so you can bet it's always playing catch-up, code-wise.

And if it could be put into a plugin, I would have recommended that avenue long
ago.  My rebase at each version would be much simpler, and the client would
have saved money overall.  But this is a major cataloging feature  --
essential, as commented by a cataloging power-user -- and needs to be
seamlessly integrated.

If the user wants, Bouzid will start with the rework you asked.  Not sure about
Unimarc, honestly, and if it's a deal breaker, well...  

Let's put this under the vise of slow death, for now: I'll put it In
Discussion.
