Thanks for commenting. My intent is to give by default a reasonable
time for the end-user to react and break the boot-sequence if needed
(and avoid the nasty racing against the clock for this precious
key-press).

My motivation for this is that I see RIoTboard/MarsBoard mostly as
boards that people can use for experimentation/prototyping, and not as
a finished end-product, thus my thinking that the slightly increased
boot-time won't be a critical issue for such applications. Still
everyone can change the delay at will if they want to optimize the boot.

Other hobby boards also have similarly handy boot-timings, like
Wandboard (5s), Novena (5s), Udoo (3s).

Kind regards,
Nikolay
