I'm changing the targets to apply to 2.10 only since I am now working on more of a new feature-ish solution to be included in 2.11, as described in the below IRC discussion:

[11:11:10] <kmlussier> My memory is beginning to clear. I think the reason I didn't like "Active On" is because, for unsuspended holds, the user might think it should be listing the date the hold was placed. Maybe Activate Date is better, but it takes up more space.
[11:11:16] * kmlussier hates semantics
[11:12:30] <tsbere> kmlussier: "Restore On"?
[11:13:08] <gmcharlt> a possibility for a long-term improvement would be consolidating the "Active On", "Active", "Date Fulfilled", and "Status" column into a single status column
[11:14:58] <kmlussier> Yes, actually, I think that makes sense. Because you don't really care what the Activation date is unless it's suspended. Maybe I'll look at that before the 2.11 cutoff, but do the simpler branch for backport to 2.10
[11:23:26] <gmcharlt> kmlussier: +1

I'll open a new bug for that approach.
