OK, I see. I should have searched more carefully.
Will the database entities eventually migrate to being integers?
This is the million dollar question (sorry for the localized saying).
There is still some debate about whether we want to continue on the
(unfinished) path of the quantity/amount pair, or just go back to a
fractional quantity on its own.
Personally I'd much rather see the quantity/amount move forward, but
it is incomplete and so needs some work. I've heard things actually
function if the integer restriction is removed, so that is probably
the easier, but less flexible and future proof, way to go (ie just
tweak it to accept franctional quantities).
