This is rather sparse documentation of the knob. If I were a regular

I've experienced just a few timeout related issues in the past on the
nodes I manage. At that time, I adjusted this knob and temporarily
surpassed it. Note that the essential problem appears to have been fixed
in the master branch.
So this wil set the timeout globally. Meaning, if I start a domain it
will
by default use 30 seconds timeout. But then, if I'd change the config and
restart the daemon the domain would use the new value.
On the other hand, that might not be necessary. So if you send the expanded
comment for the knob then I can merge these.
Yes, this knob is applied to all domains when the libivrtd process is
restarted, as you said. However, I don't understand exactly how this
knob will affect the entire system. So, this knob worked well in my
environment, but may not be needed in other users' environments.
