--- Comment #24 from Julian Maurice <[email protected]> ---
Why Koha should allow to place hold that will be (probably) impossible to
satisfy ?

Let's take an example:
- Patron 1 place a hold that starts on 2016-03-01 and ends on 2016-03-07
- Patron 2 place a hold that starts on 2016-03-02 and ends on 2016-03-06
If patron 1 get the book, patron 2 will never have it (unless patron 1 returns
the book very quickly, which is very unlikely to happen imo) and is never
informed about the high probability that this will happen.

Another issue:
- Patron 1 place a hold that starts on 2016-03-02 and ends on 2016-03-08
- Patron 2 place a hold (after patron 1 has placed their hold) that starts on
2016-03-01 (we don't care about the end date here)
If priority is based on start date, then patron 2 will "steal" the book from
patron 1. Patron 1 will never get the book while they have placed their hold
first.
