EAP authentication timeout

Hi all,

Does anyone have context on the 70 second timeout for EAP
authentication? Specifically, this snippet of code in
wpa_supplicant_rx_eapol:

if (wpa_key_mgmt_wpa_ieee8021x(wpa_s->key_mgmt) ||
    wpa_s->key_mgmt == WPA_KEY_MGMT_IEEE8021X_NO_WPA ||
    wpa_s->key_mgmt == WPA_KEY_MGMT_WPS) {
  /* Use longer timeout for IEEE 802.1X/EAP */
  timeout = 70;
}

This seems like an egregiously long timeout, and it looks to be
untouched since before 2008. Is this something that folks would be
interested in changing? Any thoughts for or against?

Thanks!
Matthew
