+              In normal STATE_SEND_PACKETS operation, it's unlikely that we'll have both writes and reads to process at the same

+              service either the reads or writes first.
+
+              However, during the initial setup wantConfig packet, the clients send a write and immediately send a read, and they
+              expect the read will respond to the write. (This also happens when a client goes from STATE_SEND_PACKETS back to
+              another wantConfig, like the iOS client does when requesting the nodedb after requesting the main config only.)
+

+              write-then-read sequences from the client work as expected, even if this means we block onRead for a while: this is
