I don't share your definition of a workaround and a solution, I think... 
In your situation, I'd implement a script to determine the tapes to 
remove, to unload them, to mark them as inaccessible, and to change the 
MediaType. (In fact, most of such a script already exists here :-)

Implemented as part of a backup infrastructure, this would be part of 
the overall solution. In my terminology, at least.

Well, then Bacula is not an eberprise backup system for your enterprise. 
But you could make it one.

Hmm. I'm not running 1.38 here any more, but I'm quite sure that a 
feature request would be accepted. It's not long before we can expect 
the next voting call from Kern...
