[Pulp-dev] No-Retry Behaviour on Network Errors: call for feedback and concerns

[Justin Sherrill]

I apparently replied instead of replied-list!  Resending:

I don't have known concerns (more worry about what happens as more and 
more people use pulp3 in the real world), but i do think after reading 
the investigation in https://pulp.plan.io/issues/6589 that the resulting 
RFE: https://pulp.plan.io/issues/6699 is hugely important.
