Transient problems can probably be ignored. Example, the first time I used BFO, it (I think anaconda) hung up for 2-3 hours because a mirror it had decided to use wasn't available, and there was no fall back. That's since been fixed, I think, but that's been years.

Adding this to the criteria however is not.
