This is particularly dense, MJ. The features present in LK4.2 are already
paid for. A library using it would not have to pay LibLime or anyone else in
order to be able to take advantage of them.

This is FUD, pure and simple. Is community Koha 3.2 "already-obsolete"
because it's not the most current version? We've already pushed out two sets
of updates since the initial 4.2 release.
