Yes, please send that along to the DIG list. We added a section to the outline regarding Holds Polices and I suspect that the results of these tests will be extremely helpful for this section.

We documemented how the system responded to different holds scenarios using each of those configurations. I thought it might be useful for others who are interested in learning how Evergreen fills hold requests. If it's of interest to DIG, let me know and I'll be happy to send it along. We used 2.0 for the testing, but I imagine the scenarios could also be useful to any new users who may be doing their own testing no matter what version they are using.
