A PTF should not specify a prerequisite in SUP.
Based on real events: <http://mason.gmu.edu/~smetz3/humor/PUT.Process.html>
I once installed a FUNCTION, with grief it filled my cup
It had a lot of PTFs inside the keyword SUP
But oh my friends and ah my foes, guess what it did to me
When it turned out those PTFs should have been on the PRE!
Mañana, mañana, mañana is soon enough for me.

If the PTF with the hold is a prerequisite, then the subsequent fix won't go in.
If the PTF with the hold is NOT a prerequisite, then it will be applied.
