[Avodah] avelut on chol hamoed

[Eli Turkel]

We all know that there is no avelut on chag and chol hamoed. My question is
what does that mean?

Two examples
1. One's immediate relative dies on first day chag or chol hamoed and the
funeral is during chol hamoed
2. One is in the middle of 30 days or 12 months for a parent

Can one attend a brit milah?
Can one simply go to a concert and enjoy oneself (if in the mood) since
there is no avelut?

It would seem that no avelut still does not mean anything goes but I have
heard that some rabbis indeed pasken that way
