Way back in the day, we tried to be smart about retrying with something
like the following: 9593841564a29155821c47dc48ae27cd2f666aa9. However,
that was when we were retrying (I think) 10 times. I just wanted to
bring this up in case you'd thought about doing such a thing. It
doesn't really matter to me how long we try.
Looks fine to me.
