Bug 22877 is closing a loophole that several libraries have been happily using
to achieve their desired fine behavior. These libraries want this behavior:
- item accrues overdue fine up to maximum
- when item is lost, overdue fine is forgiven and lost fee is applied
- when item is returned, lost fee is forgiven and overdue fine is restored

So, while many libraries will see bug 22877 as a fix, for some libraries it
will be a very big disruption.

My understanding of bug 22877 is that we're changing the fine calculation at
checkin to not do anything with fines if the item is lost. Maybe we need to
instead say don't add fines if the item is lost and the there is an existing
fine for that issue where amountoutstanding!=0?
