Aw, that's nice of you Mike, but I think the question was more about the new serials support (check-in UIs and circulating serials) and less about the non-circulating serials MFHD-based support. If I read Tim and Repke's questions right, they're looking for a way to populate the new serials tables with legacy MFHD data. And I'm not sure there currently is a way to get there from here, where "here" = serial.record_entry or your previous ILS's export of MFHD records.
