Heya,

I think his point is that he wants to change the value of the default timeout 
in the step base class. So he doesn't need to pass `timeout=MY_TIMEOUT` every 
time.

I'd love to see this functionality as well, right now I'm just passing (a 
lower) `timeout` for almost every step I use.

Regards,
Kevin
