Agreed. A working acquisitions system is one of the backbones (planks?
requirements?) of the Evergreen 2.0 release. If it can't handle a
production level of data, then it couldn't be called "working".

+1 to getting this into 2.0.

For 1.6, are you looking at this for rel_1_6, or rel_1_6_1? I would
prefer to be conservative about rel_1_6_1; for rel_1_6, I'm less
concerned, but there's probably a whole separate discussion that needs
to be held about whether the rapidly approaching 2.0 release (fingers
crossed!) means that we should stop thinking about the possibility of
a 1.6.2.x release.
