On a development note, why don't we just have Koha increment from a current position, rather than from the highest? If we delete a large group of records, it would be very useful to be able to assign the old barcodes automatically by starting from the beginning of the "hole." That's what we did with our old system, anyway.
I think ChrisN probably answered your question already but I couldn't help commenting -- recycling numbers sounds unsafe to me; wouldn't it be better to have gaps in the number space than to risk collisions? (disclaimer - I'm a dev person and not a library person) -reed
