The Solid Barlines style is meant for special situations, I am not

I ran into fat barlines in a band arrangement this spring, and found
them distracting and of no earthly use whatsoever. Does any
legitimate publisher actually use them?
In the Shostakovich 5 I mentioned in a previous message, I noticed in
the score that the barlines at the rehearsal marks were quite thick,
about like Finale's thick barlines. It was remarkable because I had
never seen them before (except in incompetent Finale copying) and I
don't know what to make of them.
The rehearsal numbers (about every 4 bars or so) seem to occur in the
bar BEFORE a phrase beginning, which is extremely off-putting. The
editor is also inconsistent on this, sometimes putting a rehearsal
marking ON a phrase start, just to mess with our heads.
