I really like the idea of using the comment field instead of imposing the "magazine" concept on the rest of Bacula. Not all autochangers have the idea, and if the interface allowed sorting the display by the contents of the comment field, it'd be trivial to structure the use of the comment field for different user grouping conventions (for example, I'd use it for what courier storage box a set of tapes are stored in).=20 > Hmm.
