A couple of changes have been proposed for the /organization/
organization type:
1. A user has requested that we add time span as a disambiguated
property on organization member.

I think it's a good idea to know when people were members of an
organization; however, the relationship between an organization member
and an organization is a simple one, and we would have to insert a CVT
to represent the timespan-member relationship.
2. One of the designers of the organization type originally created
the property key_people, and later decided this was a bad idea and hid
the property. This property has been hidden for quite some time, but
there still exists some data that should be migrated.
The existing data should be migrated to /business/employer/employee
(employer is an included type) and the hidden property should be
deleted.
Does anyone disagree with this changes? Are the applications being
developed that will break due to these changes?
Thanks,
Bryan
