Comment(by arma):
I had been imagining a design where we launch a further consensus fetch
request every 5 seconds if the current one(s) haven't established a
connection; but we don't hang up on the earlier ones until a much larger
timeout. That way in the good case we don't make any more connections than
now, but we failover much faster.
