> h3. Context
> Currently, our error metrics don't distinguish between distribution failures that are permanent and will fail even if retried, or failures that succeed after being retried.
> We want to improve this in order to be able to differentiate both scenarios.
> h3. Solution
> Failure metric should be labeled by:
>  * {{Transient failure}}
>  * {{Permanent failure}}
> h3. Proposed approach
> We can distinguish both these scenarios by using the following rationale:
>  * Transient failures happen whenever a package is distributed successfully but had more than 1 attempt at being distributed: {{retries > 0}}
