as currently implemented,
the degr-wfc-timeout is _only_ used when
recovering from a degraded crash.

 Primary, no Secondary, crash
 automatic reboot
 detect that I had been degraded Primary,
 so I use the degr-wfc-timeout.

why not for a clean reboot of a standalone Primary?

 first, because _every_ clean reboot looks the same way:
 become secondary, disconnect, unconfigure, reboot.
 so we have been "disconnected" (degraded?) before the reboot.

 second, because if you do a clean reboot,
 aparently you are at the box anyways,
 so you can interactively interrupt the "wait-forever".
