That's not going to fly.  We have absolutely no reason for making this
obsolete.

in any case, this discussion is not about double-click-time's purpose,
it's about what should "C-h k" when it is not a number.  I proposed a
practical solution; does anyone see a problem with it?

10 seconds is too long, I think 1 sec is much better.
