Project home can and should limit itself to support what is sane. Can we say 
agree that for ATC to be enabled in past history (as currently happens) is 
insane and should be disabled? I would really appreciate this!

Within the rest which may be sane, there may be preferences or requirements 
that cannot help but to need local configuration.

For example, if a praxis had ICD-9 and then began to use ICD-10, it may be 
important to be able to (continue to) display the already-entered values of 
ICD-9 along with the associated terms. However, it is likely that once a praxis 
would install ICD-10 then (after some time period of habituation) the praxis 
may no longer want the ICD-9 to populate phrasewheel matches when inputting new 
codes, despite that any already-used ICD-9 may not be deleted.
