[Koha] MARC21 classification format

Hi,

The MARC21 authority frameworks that ship with Koha include (in the
default framework) tags defined by the MARC21 classification format.
[1]

I'm not entirely sure that they belong there, however -- while it
appears that classification records could in principle be used to
authorize classification numbers found in both bibliographic and
authority records, adding support for such functionality might well
entail creating a separate set of MARC tables.

Is there anybody making active use of the MARC21 classification format
fields in their Koha database?  For that matter, is there anybody
making use of the MARC21 classification format, period? Is there
anybody who has access to classification records who *wishes* they
could use them in Koha?
