FTR: I'm in no way blaming LibLime in the example I provided. It
should be read as self-criticism, probably because we feared having to
fork (we cannot afford to do it, i'm the only dev maintaining all this
stuff here) and wanted to do it "the right way" (from our perspective
as a public university this means that if we invested some hours of
human labour they should be applied to make koha better for everyone,
specially spanish-speaking/latin-american users that, as Paul said,
have interests in features NZ and US libraries don't even think about
in their daily workflow ("who is interested in signing BZ6328 i just
submitted ?": me)).

I agree with the concepts you provided.
