Hi,

It seems when a substitute server is acting up, e.g. unreachable, or timing 
out, is there an option to automatically timeout such substitute server, 
instead of stalling on it ?

e.g. atm bordeaux.guix.gnu.org is broken (for me, at least), and guix pull, et 
al. were stalling on it, until I manually removed it.

If there is no such option, then I'm thinking of setting up a nginx instance 
reverse-proxying to various substitute servers, and returning early instead of 
forever waiting in case of 502s, or something, and uisng that as substitute 
servers

Thanks!
