I understand your argument. I often vote for consistence over small
interruptions, because I think long term it makes Koha easier to use. In this
case it would have mimicked what empty means for max holds, max checkouts etc
in circulation rules. As long as we can do so without causing a disruptive
behavior change.

I guess a workaround for disabling holds for users would be OPACHoldRequests
and in the circulation rules, so we might not need a global one. (And can close
this.)
