Ran into a situation where we had records of different entity types (e.g. household and indiv) and the duplicate matching system does not check for those. So, when users are editing their profiles, the new duplicate checking code (my guess) finds two different records that match and doesn't know which one to attach the data to.

What does everyone think of extending the duplicate checks to go across entities (as another option)?

Jeff:

I suspect we will spend the next couple of releases fixing our current de-dupe model and using it consistently in all places.

I suspect we will address scenarios like the below after the above
