First off, thanks for the discussion. However, one thing I've learned when dealing with setting defaults is this: best practice is to never use yourself as anecdotal evidence. :)
Now, instead of disabling screenlock timeouts altogether, perhaps we could find a compromise...
I agree that the default screenlock timeout of 5 minutes does seem a bit short, would anyone be averse to considering increasing this ammount to say 10 or 15 minutes? Would that help satisfy concerns that prompted this thread?
