That's one way to look at it perhaps.

I've spent the day fooling around with a re-implementation of
isolationtester that waits for all its controlled sessions to quiesce
(either wait for client input, or block on a lock held by another
session) before moving on to the next step. That was not a feasible
approach before we had the wait_event infrastructure, but it's
seeming like it might be workable now. Still have a few issues to
sort out though ...
