Review Comment:
   having WU planning separate from WU serialization is worth considering.  
that would allow for a re-attempt of only serialization w/o needing to rerun 
the planning.  there's no concern in sending the GTE again on the re-attempt - 
that's not the motivation.  instead the benefit would be to expedite the 
re-attempt by subsequently skipping a repeat of successful WU planning.
   
   to separate into two activities we'd need to succeed in persisting some 
intermediate form of WU planning, so the WU planning activity could "pass 
input" to the WU serialization activity, as the two won't execute together - or 
possibly even on the same host.  that intermediate form clearly ought to be 
more likely to succeed than serializing all the WUs themselves - the failure 
we're trying to address.
   
   this major design choice awaits if we decide to pursue such larger rework.
