Do you know any libraries that use this workflow? I don't see how that is very
useful, as you won't know the item is damaged until it gets returned and the
librarian sees the damage. At that point you don't need the hold!

I'm not quite understanding the problem here. You can also force holds that go
against the circulation rules, and those holds will never be filled, so this is
no without precedent.
