Is this actually critical?

Also, the initial report was "idle ssh transport". Monty's traceback is
certainly not 'idle' given that we are actively fetching content.

And while the transfer-of-content is roughly stateless, I'm not 100%
sure we want to default-reconnect SSH connections.

I suppose we could use a reasonable try-again-but-not-forever, or
try-once-but-fail-if-last-connect-failed. People with flaky connections
would get slow-but-useful connections. Restarting codehosting would
allow things to continue roughly interrupted, but the network going down
wouldn't cause us to spin indefinitely.
