Great change, please do it!
Also, sometimes after reaching the timeout, systemd extends wait by
another 2 minutes (or 1m30). I wasn't able to find in the sources or
documentation why this happens, but this behaviour should be blocked.
Otherwise some services after 15s will get another 15, and then another…
15 seconds feels very aggressive to me. I can think of some cases, like
libvirtd automatically suspending or cleanly shutting down running VMs,
that might well take longer than that. Could we not go for 30 seconds?
Going all the way from 90/120 down to 15 seems pretty radical.
