Ok. That was more focused on just showing an approach that collects all
of the state transition logic in one place. The factoring below seems
generally reasonable to me..

... though what is the purpose of this hunk? This seems to diverge from
the current logic, but maybe I'm missing something.

Makes sense. I think the goal should be to pull the state management
into one (or as few) place(s) as technically possible and we should
refactor however necessary to accomplish that (please just pull the
refactoring out into preliminary patches to facilitate review). Thanks.
