Yeah, I can see that point. But a lot of the active contributors to NGC4LIB seem (to me) to be affiliated with academic institutions, and probably are (or used to be, in my case) academic librarians. And I'm not sure there's a consenus within that group.

Isn't it possible that this may be saying that different "kinds" of libraries have different sorts of needs? Perhaps trying to speak as
one voice is getting in the way of getting stuff done?
