It's used by koha-testing-docker, so you are using misc4dev daily. For
instance the items/biblios/authorities records you see when using ktd are
coming from this repo.

What if we decide to change the libraries later? We could still have 2 new
(before/after) columns but with the diff only?
before { opac_note => 'a note' }
after { opac_note => 'modified note' }

There are several things. The first one is making them all the current
system (15812 and 29136). Then making them all use the REST API.
I am sure you don't disagree with that :) What did you have in mind?

Oops, there were 2 5's!
It's ready for testing and QA actually, I updated the status accordingly.

Repo size, from 2.4G (or 4G? I lost track) to ~200M
