Hmm, maybe that was premature. Maybe we should have waited until its
replacement was ready.
In fact, the wording of the meeting report is a bit vague:
The bibliographic set will incorporate all that's
useful from the Bath context set (and Bath will be
deprecated).
When is "will"? The notes indicate an intention to deprecate the Bath
set (presumably at the time that the bibliographic set has
incorporated all that's useful from it) but doesn't say that we
actually _did_ deprecate it.
