Thanks. This looks like it will unblock me for now.

Downsides over, say, if the queue of pending hooks was exposed via juju status:

  - Slower and more cumbersome to use. My helper needs to discover the
topology, construct conditions to wait on, then wait.
  - My test fixture's wait_until_ready method is going to be specific
to my charm, so I won't be able to move it into the charm-helpers
package.
  - My tests are locked into pyjuju
  - Locked into pyjuju is problematic as tests I want to write require
bug fixes only available in juju-core (eg. Bug #1040210).
