Comment 11 for bug 1592374

@shardy,

I forgot updating this as per our discussion yesterday.

As probably you've mentioned above, it's possible to delete a IN_PROGRESS stack when the resources IN_PROGRESS go to COMPLETE/FAILED state or time out before the stack build timeout happens. However, I think the issue is when the resource gets stuck in IN_PROGRESS for ever and the stack timeout happens. As mentioned above by Anant, We would require to convergence stack cancel patch to land. I assume Zane has some patches on cancel api and would like that patch to be done differently. Not sure though.

Also, I think Jay has been working on a timeout property of a deployment resource. Probably that can help to timeout deployments quickly. Though we need to fix this asap.
