The 1st patch was without the "aq" and some noticed this
inconsistency... Overall I think it's more consistent to have the "aq"
for now.

I think that, on the long term, yes, it's worth the energy.
I'm sure you've been surprised more than once by some inconsistencies:
ppl that know how Koha work don't have much problem with them. But being
consistent helps a lot ppl to understand how things are written when
they start hacking.

PS: I agree that the table prefix is not the biggest inconsistency we
have. About SQL, the biggest one is probably singular/plural table names !
