There's also the problem with it just squashing all errors, not just
probe deferral.  I really would prefer to see at least some attempt to
push this into a central helper rather than just open coding hacks in
every single user though, that's the thing here.  We want a simple and
consistent way of handling this, going round and doing something custom
at every single caller is going to result in inconsistent behaviour and
means that it's harder to deploy and new and better solutions.
