[Swift-devel] Re: Request for control over throttle algorithm

[Ben Clifford]

it seems superficially to say "we shouldn't be forcing our execution 
management semantics on the underlying execution system"; which perhaps 
means both that we shouldn't be rate limiting but also that we shouldn't 
be doing retries and things like that - we either expect someone else to 
deal with this stuff or we do it ourselves.
