Deligne (SGA 412, 1976). “Les exposes I a VI de SGA 4 donnent

la theorie generale des topologies de Grothendieck. Tres detailles, ilspeuvent etre precieux lors de l’etude de topologies exotiques, telle cellequi donne naissance a la topologie cristalline. Pour la topologie etale,si proche de l’intuition classique, un garde-fou si imposant n’est pasnecessaire : il suffit de connaıtre (par exemple), le livre de Godement,et d’avoir un peu de foi. (...)”

“Chapters I-VI of SGA 4 develop the general theory of Grothendiecktopologies. Very detailed, they may be a valuable tool for studyingexotic topologies, such as the one yielding the crystalline topology.For etale topology, so close to classical intuition, such imposingsafetynet is not necessary : it is sufficient to know (for instance),Godement’s book, and to have some faith.
