-        Disable connection pooling entirely (which makes the connectionMaxTtl settings redundant for now) to rule out
-        failures we're seeing where connections between the IONOS and Azure network seem to be dropped without us
-        noticing. The downside is that Maven uses a fresh connection for everything we download. This can be disabled
-        again, if it doesn't have the desired effects or causes other issues.
+        This is an option we can experiment with in the future. Settings this to false will result in no connection
+        pooling, which should help to avoid stale/long-lasting connections which can become inactive and be killed by
+        the Azure networking.
