In this scenario init pauses for a few minutes, rather than aborting. I w=
ould=20
like an option to prevent zdaemon aborting, and I am surpised you dont wa=
nt=20
it as the default.

I think init uses a simple fixed pause... an exponential backoff would=20
probably be smarter (like how a disconnected ZEO ClientStorage tries to=20
reconnect to its server)
