Are there any good reasons for having a timeout at all?
(Except for the local-user denial of service, but local users can do
"guix build -f something-that-allocates-almost-all-memory-and-melts-
the-cpu.scm" anyway ...)

If not, can the timeout be disabled/set to infinity?

A comment like 

> ;; Set timeout to a huge number (16.6 hours), because
> ;; upstream often sets timeouts low for spinning disks,
> ;; slow CPUs, etc.
> (limit [...] "60000")

could be useful (I'm assuming the timeout is in seconds here).

Greetings,
Maxime.
