I see what you're saying now, let's remove it then :)
I guess in the specific case of EDEFER, it doesn't fit neatly into
either of those categories, in the sense that the way you continue is
to return and then try to probe again later.

There are some other locations where this is handled wrong, I'll align
them properly for v4.
