> I think logging every page could get a lot pretty fast.
Indeed. This is to be expected. Larger Koha instances are probably talking
about millions to tens of millions of log records of the access/view-event
annually. Not to forget their action_log could already be bloated.

One option would be to clear these logs periodically. The libraries that worry
about action_log size but still want to store it long-term, could consider
other means of storage. They could achieve that with Koha plugins.

There's even real world cases where Koha libraries enabled the "view" event
logging, and some of them regularly move this data into a separate database.
They were also the source to my log row count estimation in the first paragraph
of this comment.

Splitting this into smaller parts is probably smart since it's going to affect
many pages.

> We should also make sure that patron batch edits are logged correctly.
+ REST API + other APIs. Figuring out all the places as well as making sure
that this policy applies to future changes - it's going to be a lot of careful
work :)
