We're seeing issues using :exponentially_longer where failures in downstream systems are causing a thundering herd <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thundering_herd_problem> effect. A great many jobs fail, they all get enqueued to try again in a static interval and bring down the downstream system yet again. This repeats until the retry limit is exhausted.
We've gotten around this using a custom `wait` block but since exponential backoff with randomness is builtin to some adapters, like Sidekiq <https://github.com/mperham/sidekiq/issues/480> , I'm propsing to have it baked into to :exponentially_longer.
