Not really meant as overall arguments against browse, just pointing out two
current issues with Browse:
pagination counts incorrect: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-954
Browsing by year/issue date has some confusing elements as well:
https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1213
>From a user experience perspective, I think it wouldn't hurt if we look at
the browse interfaces & discovery interfaces, keep what works and get rid
of clutter/things that don't work.
>From a systems perspective, I see no reason why both the browse indexes and
discovery indexes should be kept on the mid or longer term. But I'm saying
this without detailed knowledge about how they are different. But it seems
they're both consuming resources & basically offering the same kind of
services.
