Comment 3 for bug 364924

I agree with Diogo, the reason we have time outs on the app servers is not to piss off rubber duckies :-),l but because long running requests are bad because they tie up an app server thread, take DB resources, etc. If there is no way for a particular task to be completed through the web in a decent time out, we should offer another way to do the task (for example, recording the request and processing it offline). So, all in all, it's a case-by-case bug that needs to be fixed.
