degr-wfc-timeout = how many seconds to wait for connection after the cluster
was in degraded status.   If you "gracefully" stop DRBD on one node, it's
not "degraded."  Degraded is from like a non-graceful separation due to a
crash, power-outage, network issue, etc where one end detects the other is
gone instead of being told to gracefully close connection between nodes.

So think of degr-wfc-timeout as how long you wait for the other node knowing
that the other node had an exceptional disconnection event.  wfc-timeout is
used when you expect both nodes should work as they weren't previously
disconnected through an exceptional event.

At least that's my understanding.
