What if RM doesn't open up the buckets (i.e., someone cancels and the space goes back to R1)?

The problem with CO's design is they don't always cover all the possible scenarios. PMUA's design was a true, real-time waitlist. As soon as the space opened, for whatever reason, it cleared the next person.
