I have very mixed feelings about this. I do in general think that
would be good thing. But I see many requests where I think it just
doesn't make sense to me to retry it.
If things fail randomly, I really want to know _why_ it fails, and
want to have that fixed. I don't want to retry until it randomly
works. But I do understand that it sometimes might be hard to
find why it sometimes fails.
