Yes, it does.  As a user I have at least one site I visit which performs
a site search and, eventually, spits all the results out asynchronously.
The search is slow and can take up to 5 minutes. It no longer works.

What problem are these timeouts designed to address? A slow site/script
can always be handled by the user with the <stop> button. It is generally
wrong to make assumptions about how your tool will be used.

Timeouts during firmware upgrades to devices are going to be a SERIOUS
issue because it could brick the device, as just one other example.
