--- Comment #12 from Myka Kennedy Stephens <mkstephens at lancasterseminary.edu> ---
I like Nick's solution. Give the user a choice (radio button) to generate
issues based on date of first issue or subscription date.

Scenario: A library acquires a run of a serial that started in 2000. The back
issues are already bound together and ready to be added as items. The library
also starts a subscription to continue receiving new items beginning on January
1, 2020. The library wants to preserve the information that the first issue was
published on January 1, 2000 but the predicted issues only need to be generated
from January 1, 2020 and on.

In this scenario, it makes more sense to base a prediction on the subscription
start instead of the date of first issue. Our library workflow would use
acquisitions or simply add the back issues as items to the biblio instead of
receiving them through the serials module -- especially if they were already
bound together as volumes. 

(I'm also going to change the status to 'failed QA' since I incorrectly used
'patch doesn't apply' when I tested this back in October.)
