This allows handling timeouts on individual tests more sanely. It absolutely does not say that we shouldn't have a lot of tests. Why are you working so hard to avoid adding a nice test case for the bug you are fixing? This makes absolultely not sense at all. I want as many tests as possible for the networking code, so please write the test case you are being requested to add. Thank you.
