Glibly, it's 10 seconds before the point where you go "huh, this
should have launched by now." :-)

Well then, can we have a phrasing which will not make people ask what the "launch point" is? If we can't define it, don't put it there, because it will only confuse readers.

One option was proposed by Kalev - e.g. "it must start reasonably fast and not wait for an unexpected/undesired timeout".

Or if we want to have some exact numbers, what about "it must not add more than 10 seconds to a regular system boot speed". Of course with the slight problem that you don't know what a regular system boot speed is, if this is your first installed system and you're looking at the first system boot. But for a regular tester this shouldn't be a problem, and if you really want, you can always measure and compare it with a second+ boot.
