No. We got several user complaints about the timeout error and I found their
machines were overloaded. I plan to set CHGTIMEOUT=0 internally to avoid
future complaints. It makes sense since it's guaranteed that the hg
executable shipped is legit so I can count on "if hg serve runs, it must
create the socket file".

I used the pattern a lot before therefor didn't think twice about it.
Fortunately the standards are sane in this case.
