It looks like this one recently went back to a state where it can be
reviewed.  As you say, it is not deeply hooked into core functionality, so
I would think it would have a decent chance of passing QA normally by
feature freeze deadline next week.

As has become evident in discussions of this bug, there is a rather large
problem in the current implementation of this patchset.  I see no good
reason for me to push it while the patchset still uses that big
string-eval; not permitting such a security risk trumps all in this case.

However, I *am* willing to give this one leeway -- if the string-eval is
removed from the implementation, and if it otherwise it satisfies
independent QA review, I am willing to put this one on the list of
enhancement bugs that will be allowed after feature freeze -- though not an
infinite amount of leeway, of course, as anything that looking unstable by
the end of KohaCon is not likely to make it into the release.

Regards,

Galen
