Comment 8 for bug 1827250

Michele,

I think one of the reasons retaining the current_copy is important is the clear holds shelf function. The holds themselves may be cancelled, but staff still need to know which items are attached so that they can remove them from their holds shelf.

It is also beneficial for general troubleshooting. Cancelled holds are accessible from within a patron's record. It may be useful to see if and which item the hold had captured.
