> Parallel execution of commands can result in failures if the commands process 
> resources that are shared among the commands. For example, commands may check 
> and delete the same file resource. Deleting a file resource that is already 
> deleted is not a functional error but its does result in command failure.
> Its not always possible to guarantee that stack scripts are written with 
> guards that can check the failure and then determine if its harmless or not. 
> Auto retry is a way to get around failures due to resource contention - think 
> eventual success. Try all commands in parallel - then try only the failed 
> ones. Each command is idempotent by definition so after a few retries all 
> commands succeed.
> When commands without auto-retry option are executed in parallel then there 
> is no option to retry. This is not desirable.
