Thank for telling reasons to in- or exclude functions.
I can agree with most of them.
But on the missing books I think there is a point that you did not mention.
Of-course there is the false positive problem. But the Missing-part-of-series is not a function you would use daily. But when it IS available, it would be a good tool to find books you still would like to have. (for example if you collect a specific series).
You will not see books that are missing with a higher index of the last book you have, but this is the way it has to be. (You also do not fetch isbn-numbers on picture-only pdf files although they are inside the book).
A work around for collectors knowing there are more books would be to add an empty book with the last series-index.
Another option would be: Series with 1 book. Some Ebooks set the series option (often with name of author). Than you have a series with 1 book (#1) that is not a real series. Would be nice to filter this books also (this kind of series do not have set the series-index so the index is set to the default calibre option)
