After looking these changes over, I see that all of them remove timeouts from ovs-vsctl commands that modify the database That means that, if we remove the timeouts now, there is a risk that if ovsdb-server is running but ovs-vswitchd is not, then the command will still hang "forever". I think that we can solve that problem too but until we do, I don't think it's wise to remove the timeouts here.
