So I think that's not my question at all.

My concern is that we are specifying the timeout parameter twice in our
yaml files. Once in yaml for jenkins, and once for devstack-gate (where
we manually shave off some number of minutes that we guess is good enough).

I want to not have to specify it a second time, which would be fine if
JJB made timeout available in the Jenkins environment.
