I agree. We should think twice before breaking existing integrations and workflows.

I am also interested to hear peoples opinions about Koha's HTTP APIs in general:
- do you want them expanded? for what use cases?
- and more importantly: should Koha's templates make use of i'ts own APIs?

My library certainly think this could be a fruitful direction for Koha to go, and want
to help make it happen. But if there is no big interest in the community in this approach,
we'll more likely to fork and/or contribute to Biblibre's koha-restful instead of patching the svc and ILS-DI APIs.
