 deciding how many background threads it should create for processing.
 Higher bandwidth connections result in more threads. The default is 3, so
 this shouldn't be a problem. The library also registers for network change
 events. We'll probably need to change it so we don't require these Android
 permissions.

 permissions, so that shouldn't be cause a crash.

 I should note here, Picasso watches when "airplane mode" is enabled and
 disabled so it knows when it should retry downloading a file or failing
 (fail if airplane mode is enabled). I'm assuming we can safely keep this,
 for now.
