When someone asks me 'what does digging your heels in' mean?  I'm gonna
refer them to this page.  I mean this is just stupid.  Make the timeout
configurable - everyone's asking for it, it's easy to do.  Most people
wanting to do this for real-time updates like media streaming or guard-
like auto-testing (Rails FTW) which are totally legitimate reasons.

The users of Ubuntu have asked for what they want.  Yet it is open
source (socially-led) and our views means nothing?  Sounds like
personality is getting in the way of progress here.
