I don't think the names of the respective configuration settings will
significantly affect that confusion either way.
(I can imagine people being confused if they're using pgbouncer without
the timeout in front of a server with the timeout. But since they would
have to have turned it on explicitly on the server, it can't all THAT
much of a surprise. Or at least not that hard to figure out.)

Yes, agreed. I don't think it's worth doing anything more complicated.

I don't have a strong opinion, but I think FATAL is the pragmatic
approach.
