I think I've just spent too much time with HA database clusters... good
temporary errors "out of resource", okay temp errors "node failed" or
"lost connection", bad errors "cluster failure", catastrophic "and your
data is gone too and backups haven't been working". :)

I sometimes forget that the rest of the world can just have "errors".
