+# Most of the txaioetcd methods provide a timeout parameter. This parameter
+# is likely intended to limit the amount of time spent by any one method
+# waiting for a response from the etcd server. However, if the server is
+# down, the method immediately throws a ConnectionRefusedError exception;
+# it does not perform any retries. The timeout parameter provided by the
+# methods in EtcdClient cover this contingency.
