In my opinion there are 2 major problems to solve if we were to store in ACQ
framework from beginning:

1) Data loss: Any field not defined in the ACQ framework will get deleted
whenever the record is edited/touched manually or by script. And the ACQ
framework Koha is delivered with is very minimal in terms of fields, because so
far it's only used as a way to determine how the forms in the acquisition
module will look like (items and "order form new" with
UseACQFrameworkForBiblioRecords enabled).

2) Item forms: We also really like the way it allows to have different forms
for items when ordering and on receive. Forcing libraries to change the
framework manually on receive would add a ton of extra clicks and also require
cataloguing permissions where now "item edit" is enough.

My goal is not to block any change, but I feel it needs some more thought to
make sure we don't break existing workflows.

If identifying those records is the major issue: Could we use LDR pos. 17 to
indicate an incomplete record instead of the framework? Or something else?
