it('should respect network conditions')

Just playing with universal-modules and was surprised by default behavior:
if loading was failed, due to any reason - timeout or network failure - it will _never_ let you repeat operation.
And, if you _fix_ that with `alwaysUpdate` flag - it will always load new data from a server.
Nothing in between.

What do you think about adding something to handle situations like this?

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how failed loading and the `alwaysUpdate` flag are handled, then clarify the desired behavior between never retrying and always fetching. Done should include an agreed network-failure policy and tests for the relevant timeout and retry cases.
