+\subsection{Processing Failure Rates}
+
+Table~\ref{tab:failure_rates} lists the unrecoverable failure rates
+for several of the major IPP stages for both the regular nightly
+processing and the PV3 analysis of the $3\pi$ dataset.  The table
+gives the rate per 100,000 of the item processed.  In the case of the
+\ippstage{camera} stage, the items correspond to complete exposures,
+while for \ippstage{chip} and \ippstage{warp}, the items correspond to
+individual chips and skycells, respectively.  For \ippstage{stack},
+items are the full stack.  For the \ippstage{camera} stage, the entire
+exposure fails only in extreme cases.  The astrometric calibration of
+individual chips may fail if there are not enough stars in the image,
+but the rest of the exposure may then still succeed.
+
+For the warp analysis, the apparent high failure rate is an artifact
+of two features.  First,
