hi phtq! out of curiosity, would you consider 1.3.1's extended retries a "fix" for the timeout "bug"?
http://googleappengine.blogspot.com/2010/02/app-engine-sdk-131-including-major.html (of course, as djidjadji mentioned, it's not really a bug as much as an unfortunate fact of life in distributed systems, and 1.3.1's extended retries aren't a fix as much as a mitigating factor. still, i'm curious about the perception.)
