I'm -1 because the concept of "timeout" is generic enough to be often implemented as a custom exception, which poses questions re. backward/forward compatibilty. E.g. in psutil I have "TimeoutExpired", also providing a "seconds" attribute. Also I've probably never seen ETIME / ETIMEDOUT happening, whereas AFAIU the point PEP 3151 was to create mappings for the most common errnos.

    Does anyone have an opinion on https://bugs.python.org/issue39673?
    It maps ETIME to TimeoutError, in addition to the already existing
    ETIMEDOUT.

    http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/errno.3.html says:

            *ETIME *Timer expired (POSIX.1 (XSI STREAMS option)).

                            (POSIX.1 says "STREAMioctl(2)  
<http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/ioctl.2.html>  timeout".)

            *ETIMEDOUT *Connection timed out (POSIX.1-2001).
    It seems like a reasonable change to me, but I'm not a subject
    matter expert on STREAMS, or what other affect this might have.

    And if added to 3.10, should it be backported? I'd tend to say
    "no", because of unknown impacts on existing code.
