Comment (by stephan.menzel@…):

 Very well spoken, @SlowRiot.
 With this bug now entering it's 4th year, without Chris responding in any
 way to the discussion, I have to wonder if boost asio is actually
 maintained.
 Maybe it would be better to do the ol' DIY and patch the thing. A patch
 could be posted on the mailing list and if it's rejected there at least
 it's a little more out in the open than this ticket. The question might
 get some attention. After all, there have been very few comments here
 agreeing with the absence of said timeouts.
 Is there anyone reading this who could assist in that? Maybe one could
 team up and do it? If there's reaction to this I will set up a temp email
 address and we can get in touch.
