Chapters who have a lot of legacies go through rush are very cognizant of this. You generally have an idea of what quota will be so you can release any legacies you can't take early enough in the process that they can find another match. Luckily, this is only a problem at a select few chapters.
I will say that regardless of the policy, holding a legacy through pref and not giving them a bid is probably the worst way to handle a legacy situation. Talk about World War 3!
