I don't think there are many (or any) left, but just in case, it looks like
it would be straightforward to either adjust authoritative_wrapper() or
register_method() in OpenILS::Application to look for an opensrf.xml
service setting called something like "uses_pooled_read_replica_dbs" to
decide whether to actually apply the wrapper or just clone the base method.

I think it would be OK to default that setting to false.

Galen
