RE: [cdt-debug-dev] Remove timeouts in CDT?

IMHO the timeouts should stay.  It's possible for GDB, whether through fault of its own or hardware drivers etc., to get in a state where it hangs but you can't seem to kill it.

That being said, we find it really hard to pick a good timeout.  When erasing flash and then loading a large amount of code/data into flash, the default timeouts are sometimes not enough.
