+Subject: [PATCH] Fix a flakiness in the 028-dbus test
+
+When walking all of the exposed APIs from python, we were calling the
+'resubmit' method on a certificate, and not waiting for the churn in
+state that doing so would create to settle down before continuing.
+
+This meant that the test script might have exited before the certmonger
+process that was waiting on it finished saving the new certificate that
+it obtained from resubmitting the rquest, so the process wouldn't
+reliably log that it had obtained a new certificate.
+
+Spotted by Jan Cholasta.
