FWIW, I think that it could be a good idea to use the same set of
flags for all the pre/post_auth_delay paths for consistency. That's
useful when grepping for one. Please note that I don't plan to look
more at this patch set for this CF as I am not really excited by the
updates involving developer options, and I suspect more issues like
the one I found upthread so this needs a close lookup.
If somebody else wishes to look at it, please feel free, of course.
