I am not really sure if this would be worth the architectural changes it would require, when is a node going to decide that it is better to wait than to ask someone else? I can't think of any situation in which a rational node would just decide to wait. Either way, let's get the basic scheme implemented, get back to NGR, and then worry about further enhancements after that - our TODO stack is already pretty large.
