The actual question was "Question: can Koha operate properly with JS
disabled? If not, why not?" Depending on the poser, that question can
either be genuine and neutral or it can be leading and accusatory.
Posers, you know who you are ;)

I think "30 times" should be considered an estimate. It depends on how
much you're editing your record. How many times might one:

- add a tag
- delete a tag
- add a subfield
- delete a subfield
- use any plugin

What am I leaving out? Instead of having one longer wait at the end,
you're having 30 (or whatever) waits while you're performing any one
of these actions.

And unfortunately that means none of them would sponsor it.

I know some do!
