Comment 22 for bug 1699838

We had some reported problems related to this behavior change just yesterday, so I'm interested in seeing how this plays out.

So, I've looked at the posted branch all squinty-like for a number of minutes, and as far as I can tell, both options do the exact same thing. Perhaps I am missing something, of course, but as I read it, both just allow the staff ou to optionally clobber the preferred/home ou.

I think we need just the one option (either one), which gives you the two behaviors:
1) The "new" behavior (default to preferred location, then user home location if unset)
2) The (fixed) "old" behavior (default to staff workstation ou)

Is anyone actually needing or advocating for the "middle" option, which I believe is (preferred location, then staff ou if unset)? I don't want to rule that out if someone actually needs it, but I don't think the current branch does that, and we can always meet the pressing need now, then add that option later if people miss it.
