I now realize that I had messed up the process in my head.

It's WD -> CR -> PR -> Rec, so CR is (I think) the earliest time that 
can possibly be taken as "stable" - so Cullen's suggestion would be no 
later than (and might be earlier than) the "stable enough" that I was 
suggesting.

I'm fine with Cullen's text, then.
