+Doing so eliminates a thing to worry about in support cases related to durations,

+As for the time to deliver ``ConnectionCheckOutStartedEvent`` specifically,
+excluding it from ``ConnectionCheckedOutEvent``/``ConnectionCheckOutFailedEvent.duration``
+is consistent with the pseudocode for `Checking Out a Connection <#checking-out-a-connection>`_,
+where the time to deliver this event synchronously is not counted towards ``waitQueueTimeoutMS``,
+because the event is emitted before entering the WaitQueue.
