Semantics and drama aside, I think the point is that some useful queries are already creaking, or failing entirely.
Species without image times out, and I'm not even requesting taxon name (and we all know to stay away from the SERVICE labels for long queries by now).
Women without image runs sometimes, but fails on other occasions, so it will probably stop working soon, as it does for men.
I would not call either of those "extreme outliers"; I use both in scripts (taxa limited to 700K, sadly), for very practical reasons. As far as I can tell, they do not fail because of complexity, but because of data size. 30 seconds is an arbitrary limit that was set a while ago. It keeps the servers running, but with data size growing, more and more queries will begin to fail. These failing queries will only make up a small percentage of queries run, but they are very useful. So we would like a mechanism to run those few useful, simple, un-optimizable queries. A separate server that runs fewer but longer queries would do that.
