Mainly from

«the tombstone should be the exception[...]I see no reason why this should need
to be refactored.»

«Whilst I can see the advantages of a single table, I can also see the
advantages of tombstone tables.. and in fact I think they both have their place
in Koha.»

«So I'd also vote for keeping these patches alive.»

And a very conservative interpretation is that there are no **fatal** issues
with tombstone tables for our case. Fatal as in impossible to deal with. As in
doomed.

And the dba.stackexchange.com indicates it's a valid approach in a lot of case.
And we needed to know if there was anything specific to Koha and authorities
that would be fatal for it's use.


But I think I get what you mean. My message can still come up as they are fine
to use. So no, as it stands the consensus is that tombstone tables should be
avoided as much as possible.

Oh, +1 then to have that written in the guidelines. It seemed clear that under
pretty much any circumstance tombstone tables shouldn't be introduced. But here
we might blur the line. And having a guideline would make less likely that
someone else would think they have a case comparable to authorities. And would
code and propose a tombstone table when it was avoidable.
