General:
So one thing that isn't clear to me is how the background threads PM
uses to retrieve package information via api_obj.info() work.
Specifically, if it tries to retrieve some package information, and it
can't because an ImageLockedError() gets raised (which isn't totally
accurate, what's really locked is the ImageInterface because there's
another transport operation in progress, but it's effectively the same
to consumers), how soon will it retry again or will it just give up
completely?
Cheers,
