Yes. 10 seconds is required. 2 or 3 seconds is not enough to break in
for automated QA testing. We are aiming for maximum reliability here.
2 or 3 seconds causes ~25% failure rate. 5 seconds causes ~10% failure
rate. 10 seconds removes this element. (Estimates based on about a
million LAVA test jobs across 50 different types of devices across
multiple instances in multiple locations.)
