Not unanimous is putting it mildly.  Who was in favour of adding SMS
to 3.0 so late during a release cycle?  BibLibre and TTLLP members
have been against, someone from Cilea reported it causing problems,
but I've not noticed other koha group members commenting: Calyx? L2C2?
Katipo?

The original message stated pretty clearly that they wouldn't be
applied as-is, then "essentially these same patches" were submitted
and apparently applied without question.  That stung.

Please be clearer what is a general development and what is being
suggested for application to the freezing release version. It was
posted a few days after the other 3.2 RFCs and looked clearly to mix
enhancements with bugfixes, so hopefully it's clear why some people
would have put it in the wrong mail queue.

The SMS enhancement seemed like the import-borrowers-plus enhancement
http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2287
- unless there's a loud call for it to appear in 3.0.0, I don't intend
to submit it yet, and that doesn't even add any new dependencies.  It's
simply too late.
