This is an older list conversation, but I believe it is still relevant: http://list.georgialibraries.org/pipermail/open-ils-dev/2009-January/004039.html.  I don't know that we're "expecting" to gain new branches, but can imagine scenarios in which this might happen, so elected to leave it as a possibility, especially since the OPAC can be limited to search only the single library.

I agree that even for a single-branch library, a two-OU, two-level org hierarchy rather than a single OU allows more flexibility in the future.

Regards,

Galen
