Rationale
The purpose of the network failure detection code seems to be to direct the user to send a message to a support email address, as seen here:
However, the support email address is itself fetched from the backend, something which will not work in case of an initial network failure.
Furthermore, if we're to have any kind of network failure detection, the code should live in frontend-base and be part of the shell.
