Hi, DOM has been the default indexing mode for bib records for Koha since June 2012, and as of August 2013 is the default mode for instances creating using koha-create.
It is desirable that the indexes definitions are not allowed to drift too much between DOM and GRS-1, at least until such time as we fully deprecate GRS-1. Consequently, as of now, for anything new that get submitted, I will decline to push patches that update the GRS-1 index definitions but do not also update the DOM definitions (except, of course, for cases where the purpose of the patch is to repair an issue that only affects the GRS-1 index definitions). This does not apply to any patches that have passed QA or which have been signed off in the past month, although I will retain the right to refer the bug back to the original patch submitter if it turns out to be nontrivial to write a follow-up that updates the DOM configuration. As with any pronouncement of this nature, this is not set in concrete -- if there is a valid reason for a patch to update GRS-1 but not DOM, that's fine -- but patch submitters will have to articulate that reason.
