I've no idea what NF recommends. Like you, however, I too move
any waited item to the top of the "Now"s in the queue.
Recently, I rented "Taken." It had been lower in my queue for
weeks or months. Listed as a 6 disc series, I noticed that disc
6, which only contained "bonus" materials, one day became VLW.
After a week of that not changing, I moved the "Now" discs, one
at a time, to the top of the queue and received each the day
after doing so. After I returned the 5th disc, the title was
removed. I'm guessing that the 6th disc had been destroyed (or
the renter had died) and that I had rented the last available
set. This somewhat confirmed my concern that, when an older
video shows a wait of any length, it may be their last copy and
they may find replacement unwarranted.
