That sounds like you advocate a complete decoupling of OPAC and ILS,
with regular automatic updates of the former from the latter?
It would mean that the OPAC could be the same even when the ILSs
are radically different.
Besides the OPAC then being not 100% up-to-date, what disadvantages
might make you reluctant to call it "next generation"?
