--- Comment #532 from Ere Maijala <ere.maij...@helsinki.fi> ---
Martin,

As far as I can see, bundles is a different but useful case. However, it seems
that bug 24857 is kind of a subset of what holdings records would be (if
properly embraced), though as there's no RFC or much more information on how
the item groups work, I can't say for sure. What I can say is that it doesn't
make sense to have two methods that allow for grouping items in a bib.

The main advantage of holdings records compared to item groups is that they can
also exist without items and provide useful summary holdings information about
items that have not been individually catalogued. And since holdings records
are a standard thing among MARC records, there are other systems that support
them as well.

Since item groups has passed QA, I assume it's to be merged soon. At this point
I'll have to reconsider what to do here. I'm must admit that I'm somewhat
discombobulated (yes, I finally got to use the word!) as to how to proceed. It
might be possible to make summary holdings work with item groups without making
a complete mess, but the relationship between the two will need a lot of work.
