based on this, plus the comments from vitaliy it is clear that moving
the DA socket to established is pretty tricky. I agree I should address
these things in the >= 27 time frame.

imho we don't need to revert the first two patches:
e4c78840284f3f51b1896cf3936d60a6033c4d2c and
539fae89bebd16ebeafd57a87169bc56eb530d76 .. they have nothing to do with
rearranging states or the locking and they do fix the more notable DA
behavior issues.
