Hi Paul,

I'm glad that you agree with most of my plans. I'll just explain the 
one you don't agree with:

z39.50 is a "killer feature" for most potential koha adopters who I 
talk to. As you said yourself, the z3950daemon isn't easy to use at 
the moment, and we see a lot of questions about it on the list. 
Indeed, even I've not got a stable installation yet. I see that as a 
critical bug. I am not planning to remove it and I hope that it can be 
stabilised by the 2.2 team, but if an alternative 80% solution to this 
serious bug is possible, I would include it in 2.0.
