This feature adds a database function and settings for doing so. + +The settings allow for a default retention age as well as filled, canceled, and canceled by cancel cause ages. The most specific one wins unless a patron is retaining their hold history. In the latter case the patron's holds are retained either way. + +Note that the function still needs to be called, which could be set up as a cron job or done more manually, say after statistics collection.
