As far as the UNIMARC format is concerned, BibLibre did change the
"default" framework when the standard changed: it's the framework
that's available as an sql file with a release.
Other than that, if a librarian did a "DVD" framework, it's her job to
alter it, as Owen said.
So : the default framework, provided with Koha, is up to date; locally
created frameworks might not be. A script from you to keep that all in
sync would be swell, that's for sure.
