So we are talking on this list of things that improve the end-users
experience?  If so, I am glad to see that.

In my experience, a great many of the the incremental enhancements
requested of the ILS vendors are for the benefit of the
librarians/library staff using the back-end, improving their work-flow
etc.   I think we should be careful not to conflate the features/fixes
that are necessary for end-users with those for library insiders.
