--- Comment #74 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer at bsz-bw.de> ---
When the option to store the last patron was introduced separately from the
normal reading history feature, I was quite happy as it would allow us to keep
that information, without necessarily keeping all the history. 

What libraries often ask for is to know the last person that checked out an
item, in case they have missed damage on return (like it can happen in times of
self checks). 

In my opinion, by synching those with no option to not delete both at the same
time - we make the StoreLastPatron obsolete. We could always have used the
other tables to retrieve the information, but it was added with a new table as
a separate thing with the reasoning of avoiding automatic anonymization.

See the bug description from the initial feature add (bug 14945):

"Currently if the AnonymousPatron system preference is in use, all patron data
is anonymized. Some libraries would like to be able to see the last patron who
returned out an item ( in case of damage ) but still keep all other patrons
anonymized."
