I'm in agreement with a lot of you here.  I always taught libraries not to use
the restricted access values because it was so very very unclear what it did. 

That said, having it only block access with 1 value seems contrary to other
authorized values.  I like Katrin's suggestions:

- Block positive values from checkout 
- Don't block negative values from checkout 

As for holds though - I'm really not sure.  

Basically it sounds to like restricted is no different from not for loan in
this scenario. Before this I thought restricted just put a label on items that
were restricted and did nothing - while that too seems strange, it at least was
different from not for loan.

I don't now if I helped at all here ...
