AllowRenewalIfOtherItemsAvailable is the minimum, IMO, as I would prefer it as
a per-library setting, but as a YASP, it suffices for now.

I think we've just exposed a difference in library practices, because I know of
libraries that absolutely do not want renewals to be allowed if there are
pending requests, and who would very much consider it a bug if they were
suddenly allowed following an upgrade.

Consequently, I will /not/ be pushing the follow-up as it stands now, as it
changes existing behavior upon upgrade.  I am neutral on the question of the
default value for this one for new installations.
