Can anyone tell me if Evergreen has a similar problem?
Thanks in advance.

There is an "abandoned RFC" for "Stop copying item records to bib's MARC
and MARCXML RFC" .

Could someone tell me why this was abandoned, because I think having the
item record data exists both in the items table and as MARC fields in
the bib record is an a terrible shortcoming of Koha for academic and
research libraries with large numbers of items for certain titles.

My notes say that RFC was created by a LibLime worker, so a current or
former LibLime worker may have a definitive answer... BUT:

I suspect it may have been abandoned because one of the MARC fields is
sent to the Zebra index server and there are benefits like faster
availability searches if the item data is indexed by Zebra.

Hope that helps,
