--- Comment #54 from Amber Hunt <amber at marlboro.edu> ---
I think Ian's Wall's comment from a while back applies here:

"The need for some kind of restriction mechanism still exists; not all
libraries will want patrons to be able to place multiple holds on a material;
this could lead to gaming the system by placing holds on every available copy
of a popular book, for example.  I think a control mechanism that looks at the
items.enumchron field for distinct values would be a way to go; this would let
different vol/issue items, for example, take in multiple holds, but equivalent
copies could still be restricted (unless they were explicitly given distinct
enumchron values)"

I also wonder if it might be possible to allow staff with the right permissions
to override. So, patrons would still not have the ability to do this, but staff
(who, in the scenarios I have encountered are the ones that really need this
change) could override.
