Applying the default timeout if set is fine, and I agree it should have
precedence. In case no default timeout is configured, the platform
semantics should prevail. This is tradition in Python: when we define
some behavior (i.e. default timeout), we are entitled to consistently
define all aspects of it. In the other places we use the platform
semantics (leaning towards standards such as POSIX in case the platform
offers alternative semantics).
