I did some digging, and that setting is indeed not currently used.
However, it was used back in the JSPac days, where it specified at
what point in time to apply a CSS style to the My Account holds list
to highlight hold requests that are about to expire. It wasn't carried
over into TPAC.

I'll leave it to others to file a bug in LP to either remove the
setting or to reimplement it in TPAC.

As a side note, I tracked this down by using the following Git command
to identify commits that included the setting's code:

  git log -S "circ.hold_expire_alert_interval" --source

Regards,

Galen
