It does not seem to be a library at all, so very little to do with dependency hell. It's something you prepend to your commands if you want them to retry until they succeed. Seems pretty useful to me.

Also, retries are more nuanced than most people expect, see [1][2]. Getting them right is exactly something I’d appreciate in a library and not something I’d want to reimplement per project/service.
