Due to the use of OpenBookFactory in the earlier days of microfilm, there were additional repub_states used.
I know "3" has significance. And "6" is the equivalent of "4" in books. We also have -127 (skip repub)

I do think we should at least work on a table detailing all the different repub_states for the various projects and start from there if we are interested in potentially reassessing the scheme.

However, my bug was specifically addressing the last state of a book, 4 (6 for microfilm). I think these states should happen at the end of, or after, derive.php successfully finishes.

I think one of the reasons we use the "format" field a lot is because repub_state cannot currently be trusted to identify a fully derived it.
