SLC will continue to use 300 :$b, and will not code 34X, in part for
consistency with legacy records (it would be difficult to program this
change retrospectively), but mainly so that this helpful information
will be in brief display without requiring clients to remap their
OPACs.
We don't know what will happen with Bibframe, particularly to the
equivalent information to 34X in fixed fields. We may have to revisit the
matter then.
