Of course.

I just added this comment to give an idea how far one would need to scale up
the number of authors to be done with (for a while). Besides getting the ids
right there might even be some issues rendering the display of whatever editor
you use, btw.

Of course not.

We were pondering on using Koha as the successor system for our current
repository, that is also based on Marc21 and we have this several k author
lists use a lot of normalizations etc. Koha would fit a lot of bills. It would
however require Koha to get a decent OA repository component. (join² was
pondering if we could pull this off, but it was finally decided otherwise for
other reasons.)

Still, I think it would be worthwhile to add a decent OA repository component
to Koha, but that's another story and also quite a task to get it right. It is
actually quite convenient if your repo is your catalogue. I'll miss that.

It's probably not a matter of size of the library, but on the research area of
your institution. I would definitely call us pretty small, while Atlas and CMS
papers are regulars in our systems. (More on the repository end / article
cataloguing of course.)
