EEP proposal - Delayed restarts of supervisor children

[Maria Scott]

Hello,

the request for configurable delays in restarting crashed supervisor children has occurred time and again on the erlang questions mailing list and elsewhere, but was never adressed, except in an old attempt that went unmerged and forgotten.

We suspect that this did, over time, lead to a number of customized clones of the standard OTP supervisor.

In order to address the obvious need and discourage further cloning, we put together the attached draft EEP, outlining the requirements and expected characteristics of delayed-restart children in supervisors.

Kind regards,
Maria Scott
