I guess we could log a message, but we wouldn't want to use a high
logging level, since if you have LXC guests, we know we'll get these
timeouts every time :-(

I'm not sure to be honest, but I think it is worth investigating. Ideally
I'd say we should only settle once per API call, unless there's a scenario
that forces us otherwise.
