    Hi Stuart,
    
    If a job is placed on hold explicitly via condor_hold, then the
    periodic_release expressions should be ignored as of v9.11.  See 
      https://opensciencegrid.atlassian.net/browse/HTCONDOR-740
    
    However, the job's owner could still release it via an explicit
    condor_release.  We have plans to only allow an admin to release a
    job if an admin placed the job on hold, but have not implemented it
    yet...  ( see
    https://opensciencegrid.atlassian.net/browse/HTCONDOR-799 )
    
    regards,
    Todd
