--- Comment #3 from David Nind <david at davidnind.com> ---
I have read this again, and have come up with some alternative wording:

WARNING: Do not use a regular patron category code for self registration. If
the misc/cronjobs/cleanup_database.pl cronjob is setup to delete unverified and
unfinished OPAC self registrations, it may result in the permanent and
unrecoverable deletion of all patrons that have registered more than
PatronSelfRegistrationExpireTemporaryAccountsDelay days ago.

As this was an academy bug, I'm happy to do a follow up patch, or amend.

It's a bit long, but the consequence of changing this system preference to a
regular patron category code seems quite major.

Also, is "it may result" correct? That is, rather than "it may result" in
deletion, it will result in deletion? Or are there other factors involved?
