The idea here is that for usages like in the zephyr mirror bot:
backoff = RandomExponentialBackoff()
while backoff.keep_going():
print "Starting zephyr mirroring bot"
try:
subprocess.call(args)
except:
traceback.print_exc()
backoff.fail()
we want it to be the case that the mirror bot running for a while counts as a
success so that the bot doesn't have a finite number of crashes over its entire
lifetime. We only want the mirror bot to stop retrying if it fails too many
times in a row.
