Oh yeah, that makes a lot of sense. So now we have to create a second
transition, since perhaps some of the stations would suddenly change
modulation?

Tom's right, though. When analog finally shuts off, that will be when
the final tweaks will be introduced to make digital work right. Some
such tweaks would be to add gap fillers and translators, some would be
to increase power (I'm thinking especially for some of the stations
going back to VHF), and CE manufacturers may even get an extra incentive
to keep improving their receiver designs.

As long as broadcasters have the analog fallback, there isn't that same
level of urgency.
