--- Comment #3 from Liz Rea <liz at catalyst.net.nz> ---
I'm going to be honest - I think it was a mistake to do anything with automatic
item return in the hold queue, and any checking for it should be removed.

My understanding of the purpose for automaticitemreturn was to automatically
send an item home when nothing away from home was left to do with it, as an
example, a library system probably wouldn't want to send an item home in
between every hold, it would want to send the item on to the next hold from the
item's current holding branch. AutomaticItemReturn only factors in when there
are no holds left, and the library wants the book to return home automatically
at the end of it's run.

I'm not sure I understand why it's even a factor on the hold queue - the hold
queue should always pick items from the holding branch, regardless of the AIR
setting.

Unless it has something to do with the Cost Matrix calculations, let's just get
rid of checking for automaticitemreturn all together.
