Timeouts are especially risky here since resources are likely to use some for 
of remote connection and are therefore subject to all kinds of delays.

If there is a timeout then the resources should at least have a way of 
signalling "I am ok, just waiting on a response myself".

But this is unfortunately a lot like polling, unecessary wake ups, etc.
