It wouldn't work. You can't make any assumption about how long it
would take for the replication lag to resolve, so you may have to wait
for a very long time. It means that at the very least the sleep has
to be interruptible and therefore can raise an error. In general
there isn't much you can due in a critical section, so this approach
doesn't seem sensible to me.
