Thanks, Tom. I think one of the things we need to get from Anand is an idea of what maintenance functions are active on OL, and if there is a way that we can monitor them. I have no idea if merges between editions or from editions into works are taking place, and here is another function (merging/unmerging authors) that is mysterious. I would assume that updates would trigger certain actions... but do not know if that is the case.
