I imagine folks to start harvesting it for coin! :D They grab a whole bucket and carry out the water, lol. Faction members have access to holy water no?

Just get a vaporiser, some air conditioning, and humidify all the crypts with holy water. They'd save thousands on healing tonics.

In general, i like the idea of holy water accessible in ML temples

I have some trouble to see Petrus point there.
In fact, i really would expect to see holy water in a place which is so heavily infested with belief and fear of vampires.

pro: the ML church is definitely one from which i would expect use of holy water
contra: if it were accessible, it might well draw many more barovians to the ML faith, which would not really fit the background
pro: holy water is a much more offensive weapon against vampires than garlic is, so it is something more likely used by someone who intently faces the undead - which the common barovian would not do - better to keep them out and use something that prevents them from entering -> garlic

From the metagaming point, i like the availability of holy water on the mountain - that alone makes it rare and encourages travelling. But from the in-game perspective it does not make sense at all. Last but not least due to the fact that it is a place for WIZARDS.

Except it doesnt. If it would have been powerful item it might, but people just dont bother to travel all the way there to buy a bottle that deals 1d4 damage against undead or adding +1 against them on weapon (when polish cloths and varnishes are far more easier accessible)

Thst may be just me... but i do that for the RP-opportunity of having holy water at hand.
Ruleswise rather useless.
But fluffy.

Though it wuldn't be that fluffy any more if everyone had stacks of them at hand

oh... wait... you are capable of humor and irony?
but... you did not hold up a sign, so how can you expect anyone to notice?
