While this is what the openvpn.8 man page used to say, it's technically
only valid for some variants of "peer2peer --secret" mode.  In TLS
mode, "connection failure" is defined by inability to establish a 
TLS handshake in the timeout time.

I'm going to merge this anyway ("because this is not new text"), but
we should come back and revisit these notes.  All these notes.  One day.
