I don't remember noticing the change that required an argument for the
--wait switch. I'm not sure that's a great idea. It breaks the
command-line "API", and (as this commit shows) it requires the user to
specify the same domain twice on the same command-line, which requires
additional sanity-checking. This seems quite awkward. Is it really
necessary?
