[Koha] Requesting opinions on proposed change to AuthDisplayHierarchy

[Owen Leonard]

Thanks to everyone who weighed in on my question about the cataloging
interface. I have another one:

If the AuthDisplayHierarchy system preference is turned on,
hierarchies of authority records are displayed via a JavaScript plugin
which makes a collapsible tree of authority links. I propose that this
be replaced with a static, CSS-styled tree. Doing so would cut one
JavaScript plugin dependency.

>From the bug report
(https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=21128)
here's a screenshot of the updated OPAC view:

And in the staff client:

At my library we don't use this feature, so I don't really know how it
is used in production.

Are authority hierarchies often so "deep" that having a collapsible
display is preferred?

If so, could clicking to show or hide the entire tree be a viable alternative?

Thanks,

   Owen
