And in other cases the asserting edge needs to be reasonably fast too.
Sometimes it's necessary to "get everyone off the bus" (disable all output
buffers) quickly.  "Quickly" here may mean on the order of 10s of
nanoseconds; not exactly lightning fast, but not so slow that you don't care
either.

The designer needs to understand the system's requirements, specifications,
and Reset timing.  Each case may be different.
