Hm. In general, if something blocks interruptibly, it should be declared to
throw InterruptedException instead of catching and rethrowing something of
another exception type. We should look at the use sites to be sure, but it's
generally not an inconvenience for tests to deal with checked exceptions; it's
perfectly acceptable for them to declare `throws InterruptedException` or even
`throws Exception` and let the framework handle the exception if the test
itself doesn't want to.
