Can you please change the default timeout in wait_process() instead?

I think it might have some consequences 🤔

Right now SHORT_TIMEOUT is just 30 seconds, while LONG_TIMEOUT is 5 minutes.
It is a 10x increase.

Secondly, current docs state (https://docs.python.org/3/library/test.html#test.support.SHORT_TIMEOUT):

If a test using SHORT_TIMEOUT starts to fail randomly on slow buildbots, use LONG_TIMEOUT instead.

Initially I've followed this recommendation.

Do we have other tests that fail due to this timeout? Is it a global problem? You totally have more data than me on this problem.

Lastly, regrtest has --timeout, which we can change for slower runners.

If you think that we still should change the default, I have several questions:

  1. I guess we need to add .. versionchanged:: 3.11 to wait_process docs and change the default value there
  2. In this case we would have to recommend using SHORT_TIMEOUT if users expect some test to be fast, am I right? Or should we just remove this from the docs completely?
  3. Should we change --timeout= flags that are used in the project somehow? https://cs.github.com/python/cpython?q=--timeout%3D
