AHhh it all becomes clear :-)

Yep, that makes much more sense. I think ive seen the first new thing for
the upcoming 2.1.x tree :-)
We are in feature freeze currently heading into the release of 2.0 but as
soon as thats stable enough, we can start development on new features.

It might be good to start a page on the wiki where ppl can build a plan for
handling the differing call numbers.
