 ==== 3. Open Q&A / Other Topics? ====
+Maccabee asked Thomas about the implications of using [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/3069|pull request #3069]] in practice -- will this lead to too many user requests for very specific changes that will create complexity? Thomas suggested at least two solutions: either do not turn the setting on, or communicate with users ahead of time to set reasonable expectations.
+Ere noted that this will help answer two kinds of questions -- "why is this here?" and "why is this not where I want it?" The first answer can lead to straightforward solutions; the second answer can get much more complex. He pointed out the need to make it clear that fixing one result set can break other sets -- making changes can have many side effects. He has compiled a list of types of relevance adjustments that are reasonably safe and predictable, and sharing this type of information with users can be helpful. Demian mentioned that asking users for data to build regression tests can provide a realistic perspective on the work associated with making changes. There's also the possibility of boosting specific records in specific query result sets through Solr configuration, which can be used to address very narrow edge cases without side effects elsewhere.
