Computer programmers don't design the systems!
Business and Systems Analysts do the design work.
Programmers work from the spec's given to them by the analysts.

I think Ancestry transcribers often have to do what those at the top tell them, such as a member on here once explained about banns records on Ancestry having to be put down as a "marriage" record, hence why you may see many banns records as marriages. Banns records can be great, and while you may not always find a marriage, a banns record may be found that shows the couple did intend to marry. My widowed ancestor had her banns read in July 1834 in Marylebone but not marriage has ever been found yet she took his surname.

Yes an ancestor of mine had the Banns read 3 times but never married! Depending on whether the registrar knew the mother's real name or assumed married name was how the children were registered!
