It would be an effective behavioral change for those of us who remove
that line.
Personally, I think 5 seconds is too long- even 2 seconds is more than
adequate even for moderately old 'other' hardware like scanners.
For -current, why don't you simply remove all of the config lines and
leave the default at 2000ms?

code cleanup.
the scsi delay value currently defaults to 2000ms. however that doesn't make
sense, since on almost all platforms it gets set to 5000ms in the default
config. what's the purpose of having a default value, if it is much more often
overwritten than actually used?
that's why this patch changes the default scsi delay value to 5000ms. now all
of the lines that were setting the scsi delay value to 5000ms can be removed.
also default values should be chosen very conservatively. users can always
lower the delay value via their kernel config or sysctl.
cheers.
