You've made one important assumption: the processes on the wait queue are sleeping waiting to service things... but what if the wait queue governs access to a resource, and all the processes on that wait queue need access to that resource to do things? Some of the processes waiting for it may never get a go, and so necessary work may be left undone. So NACK.
