I had proposed -p to mean patient module remover with a default timeout
set, -t to override. In the end this went upstream instead over a lot of
dialog with just -w <timeout>.

It was one or the other that went upstream, we implemented this on
fstests upstream as an open coded solution while we wanted for this
meachanism to be agreed upon and merged. I just forgot to come back to
this after -w was merged and decided upon.
