Comment 27 for bug 380504

In regards to kees' patch to lazr.restfulclient, it seems reasonable to me, though it is certainly unfortunate we need it, and we should consider keeping a bug around for the situation(s) that causes this kind of code to be necessary.

Thoughts:
- I'd probably like to have the number of retries and the seconds between retries configurable.
- Would incremental delays be of value?
- I'd like it if we logged the problem.
