Well, sure you can, but that does infer a few slight differences (like
only messages received through smtpd would be put on hold), but IIRC
the design sprung from the problems with the defer method... and at
that time, the "static:hold" syntax wasn't present.

There are definitely other ways one could do this (look at how Hugo
van der Koij uses an access map to do selective holds), but basically
... if it ain't broke, don't fix it;-).

Cheers
