unreleased, and therefore worth fixing during freeze.

Isn't this comment stale now?  That is, since you are waiting for the
event to free the condition, and we are listening for both success and
failure events, we can now tell if the event reports failure.

Otherwise, looks correct to me.  I hate that it is so close to the
release deadline, but I hate regressions more (which is why we have
freezes).  I'd feel better if you got a second review, if you can
wrangle one up in time, but here's my:

ACK.
