Comment (by teor):
We can only remove the retry limit if we are sure exponential backoff
works.
(There is still a global retry limit of 255 for every individual directory
document.)
Why not work out the actual number of retries we need, and increase it to
that?
(I would guess that we shouldn't retry a single md more than 16 or 20
times, but that's just a guess.)
Or, let's set the limit lower (say 6?) and try an authority when we reach
it, then stop.
