I tend to prefer a backout as the first step if we like to clean
up the M_*WAIT* stuff in a different way. Not reverting first
may result in bugs that we're introduced by the first makeover,
and then subsequently hidden by the second makeover. I don't
say there are any bugs, just that in the case of there being
bugs this could happen.

Just an observation...
