I just created this issue about the console and "remote timeouts":
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-1267 Basically, I'd like to add: :remote config timeout none as a replacement for :remote config timeout max "none" seems like a more fitting term than "max" for what a user would want to do. I think we can continue to support max for now but "deprecate" it by only promoting use of "none". We can drop "max" at some point in the future.
