So, `dep` got an nice new feature to remove tests and non-go files from `vendor/`, and this brings the size of the vendor directory from ~300MiB down to ~20MiB. We don that now. |

Exponential Backoff
This is a Go port of the exponential backoff algorithm from Google's HTTP Client Library for Java.
Exponential backoff is an algorithm that uses feedback to multiplicatively decrease the rate of some process, in order to gradually find an acceptable rate. The retries exponentially increase and stop increasing when a certain threshold is met.
Usage
See https://godoc.org/github.com/cenkalti/backoff#pkg-examples
