I've decided to obsolete my patch that modifies the cancel expired reserves
script and go back my original approach. Here's the case I will make. I feel
that using a system preference is actually a benefit. 

By having a system preference, it exposes the functionality better. You can
learn a lot about what Koha can do simply be looking through all the available
system preferences. If the functionality is hidden away in a cronjob, it
becomes much harder to new users to know that functionality even exists. 

In addition, this version has the potential to become much more extensible. We
could eventually add the waiting holds fee to the circulation rules table such
that each library can choose it's own fee, just like standard fines and rental
charges. It almost seems to go against the conventions of Koha to have all
fines and fees controlled at such a granular level, with a single exception. If
you accept this reasoning, I would be more than happy to make it so.
