Awful message to put across from an open source community based OS, and not really a solution.

I think the middle ground would be different types of duration. Short, Medium, Long. Given 3 options would certainly help and partially avoid developers choosing different timeout durations.

I still don't fully agree though. If an app wants to specify an odd or different timeout, then users will no doubt complain, or not use just that app. Or Ubuntu doesn't have to include it in the default build.

Also the reason I gather for this bug report being abused, is because people have tried to open up other avenues to talk about this and they've been shut down or cut off. This is the only place we can voice our opinion.
